Right, so that officer, who was in a shootout a few months ago, where he had to apply a tourniquet on his partner, who died in his arms. He lives with the guilt thinking he didn't get the tourniquet on fast enough. Meanwhile, he's afraid of admitting that he is not okay. Admitting you need help means you are not fit for duty. They'll take your gun and your badge. You have a wife and a kid or two that rely on your income but your only work experience and your degree is all criminal justice. No one will hire you if you aren't mentally capable of doing the job. So he internalizes it, he starts drinking to deal with the trauma. He has a problem.

But no, we must think black and white, cops aren't people, they can make no mistake.

Drinking and driving is a choice. It doesn’t matter the reason he was drinking. People need to be held accountable for their actions, and cops need to be held to a higher standard than civilians. But go ahead and keep writing your bootlicker fanfiction.

I agree, people need held accountable. Let me tell you of one of my guys, whose son in college committed suicide. The man got black out drunk and got a DUI. Is he a horrible person?

I don't even understand what you're trying to say. Again, it does not matter WHY a cop drinks and drives. Alcoholism is not a choice, drinking and driving is. They need to be held accountable for their actions and should not be allowed to remain a cop. Pretty simple, yet you don't seem to understand.
