IMPD officer arrested for DUI

[HoughMade]

He DID hurt someone. He caused a crash and injured the other driver.

Yeah, but still...

Well I thought we were discussing IMPD officer sentenced to 60 days in jail, probation for OWI | Fox 59

That guy injured some?

Too many cops getting drunk.

I'd probably want to be drunk all the time too.

Too many citizens getting drunk every night. Where do you think LEO's are hired from? People love to get drunk.

Yeah it is such an epidemic. One is too many, but you act like its more than what it really is.

If he didn't actually cause any real harm... Maybe we could put the pitch forks down.

The fail boat is sailing

I bet you could count them on one hand, if there were any at all. At least on my dept.

Understood.

Should be some people love to get drunk. I don't, and I expect my co-workers, or another profession to be sober at work or find another profession. I think we can agree on that.

I don't drink at all. However, with $184.6 Billion in lost productivity nationwide every year due to alcohol, you kick one alcoholic out only to replace him/her with another. It's like digging a hole in a sand pile.

Wear your feelings on your sleeve much.

Having trouble using the Reply With Quote feature tonight, so: dirtybird said in post #145:" I agree, but I think a veteran should be punished MORE than a new recruit if anything. He's been on the force and should know better, not to mention the hundreds over that period of time he's probably arrested for the same thing. If any breaks should be given (which they shouldn't IMO) it should be to a new guy. " JettaKnight said in post #147: "So, because of ten years it's allowable? I fail to see the logic. After ten years, you should be a lot smarter than a rookie. You should have a lot more experiences to draw upon to know that drunk driving is really, really, stupid." Have either of you ever heard that stress is cumulative? Take a person in a job which has a lot of stress, where just about every decision he has to make has to be the RIGHT decision, then work him 12 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week for a few years, add in limited ability to relieve the stresses of the job and add to that a "traditional" de-stresser: alcohol. I'm speaking of Air Traffic Controllers, obviously. I make no excuses for anyone operating a vehicle - ANY VEHICLE - while intoxicated, but your opinions stink on ice for the reasons I've just explained.

He will probably just get suspended with pay. Maybe a AA meeting or two.

Is that what your vast and intimate knowledge of the public safety/court system in Marion County leads you to believe? Or are you just spouting off?

Don't answer that, I already know the answer....

 

[Gunner72]

I will answer for myself. From personal experience he won't get what a everyday average person will get. If you believe that, well I guess your entitled to your own opinion. I like Leo's and an real happy they are out doing their job. I know a Leo charged with domestic violence. Now , if happened to most of us we would lose right to carry and some of our freedom. But not him" paid leave and marriage counseling. So not just spouting off.

Or he could be fired (which he has been) so yeah, pretty much spouting off. Good job.

Oh, you and your actual facts again!

Yeah, but still...

I see what you did there.
