Good to see the POS has to find a "criminal" at the hosipital, should have asked him how many child molestors he locked up, gang members.

I'm absolutely blown away by the responses to this post.
Explain to me why this Police Officer is a "POS" for doing his sworn duty???
My first fatal accident scene involved a dad who rolled his car off the freeway. His 4 year old daughter was standing in the back seat when they crashed. She was partially ejected as the vehicle rolled several times. I was the second person on scene (off duty Officer was the first). I found her in the grass a few hundred feet from the car, crushed from the waist up, breathing her last breaths. She died in my arms.
Her dad was drunk. He killed his little girl.
I still have dreams about her.
To Calcob: I'm sorry for your child's suffering. But were there not other licensed drivers at this gathering? We also have these things called Ambulances with highly trained Paramedics who can drive with lights/sirens and who are sober. You spun the wheel man, I'm glad the worst that came of it was a DUI for you. Learn from it & pass this experience on to all who will listen.
To all who threw the cop down, seriously, get bent. I've been to too many scenes where the drunk driver is cursing the Firemen/Paramedics who are trying to patch up his minor wounds while more Firemen are cutting whats left of the other family from their car.
To the retired cop who chimed in I'll say this: not sure what state you hail from, but in California we have a section in the Vehicle Code (40300.5 CVC- look it up) that allows a Police Officer to arrest for DUI even if he didnt see the person driving. You dont even have to be behind the wheel of a vehicle when you're contacted.
Wow, what a bunch of sheep. Dont worry tho, I'll be back on the job tomorrow keeping the wolf at bay.
Say What???
