Some police officers seem to have been drinking at a strip club and then crashed while going the wrong way on a highway. Two of the four officers in the vehicle were killed. No breathalyzers or blood samples have been taken from the officers. Yeah. It looks like they are not treated the same way civilians are in similar circumstances. But that is not the interesting point. The interesting point is the first ten comments I came across.

No. No. No. Not POLICE OFFICERS. They wouldn’t do that. What a travesty.
Drink, drive, people die but if it’s a cop then it is “just boys will be boys”…
that reckless behavior by those cops is very unlike the many “honest” and “law abiding” policemen we keep hearing about who love to murder black kids over victimless crimes. notice how quick the police chief and their cop buddies were to defend those drunk driving cops, saying it’s too premature to speculate on what caused the accident. it’s pretty clear on the cause: drunk cops. if there is a black guy involved, they’re very fast to blame him. when a cop is the cause of a crime, it’s “too early to speculate”. b s.
Three cops in the car could not tell they were going against traffic? How stoned were they?
“…Investigators have applied for a warrant for a blood test for the driver…” I have never heard of the police applying for warrants for civilians in similar circumstances.. Seems like a delay tactic so that the driver can sober up. Cops take care of their own.
by the way, did the police put the cuff’s on these guys as they lay on the ground bleeding?? they do this when they shoot unarmed suspects dead…..you know, just in case he comes back to life and “TRIES” to go after the cops gun……..i wonder if even they will lose their drivers licenses???? the “union’ lawyer will step in…how friggin stupid can you be…and how can these guys be cops when they can’t hold their booze and drive against traffic??? how stupid is that…
If the policeman who was driving goes to jail like a common citizen, will he need special protection? Or will he talk the same tough guy talk in the jail as he did on the street as a cop?
Gee they couldn’t take a cab? and why a warrant to test the drivers blood. the blood test is required by law, unless they want to let him off for the dui.
“2 officers in critical condition after fatal wrong-way crash” Is there a right way to crash fatally?
In the time-honored tradition of law enforcement, watch the cops claim injury and PTSD, and retire tax-free on taxpayers’ money.
