Drunk Police Chief ruins his career over a Jacket?!

What? You wanna send stuff to me!? Angry Cops PO Box 1153 Buffalo NY 14201
A New Jersey Police Chief got sauced and tried to interject himself into a DWI investigation. Now he didn't help, he messed it all up by scolding the shift supervisor for his worn out jacket. What a horrible representation of leadership, or a great example of Toxic leadership.

The courts and the Governments are systematically broken to the point there's no reason to try, his fellow rich powerful people will get him off scot free. It's the exact same boat here in the UK too. Our police forces have basically given up on investigating and charging people, because the Crown Prosecution Service always refuses to press charges unless there's literally no choice. And who gets the blame? Why the police of course, because it looks like they're not doing anything. When they are. It's just the CPS refuses to allow them. Why do instituions like the CPS even exist? We have Juries and Trial by Peers for a reason. Why do we have another body deciding who is and isn't guilty enough to go to court? It's just insane. Let the Jury decide if there's enough evidence, that's what they are there for.

[@NoThankYouReally]

Generally speaking (and they've tried to change it) in NJ pensions only get taken if there was some sort of crime involved and then only from the point at which the crime occurred- So for example if you were stealing from the town since 1999 and you have been working for the town since 1985, you get paid for your time up to 1999. Often those caught dirty give up the pension without a fight in an agreement with the prosecutor. In this case, dude's worked as a cop for decades. He may be a total d-bag, but the town has kept him employed and given him roles in leadership across all those years. Guy has a drinking problem. So do lots of people. He absolutely should not be in leadership and maybe shouldn't be a police officer (probably shouldn't). That said, taking away the pension he has worked for for decades, from him and his family, is a bit brutal. Not like people lose their 401(k) when they're fired. Also keep in mind- NJ is a cesspool of miserable townie politico types for whom destroying people is a blood sport. The ability to take someone's pension, in the absence of a criminal conviction handed down by a jury of your peers is just begging for abuse. You would find yourself with guys who have 30 years in, a massive pension, who as time goes on only become more susceptible to being strong-armed, if for no other reason they don't want to end up in the poor house at age 65.

Drunken and disorderly. Drunk in public. Assault on an officer. Disturbing the peace. Interfering with an investagation. That's at the very least a night in the drunk tank. Cuff and stuff it. The real question is how is the dui person related to the chief? Since the chief has his keys in close proximity to his motor vehicle? That's a dui on top of the other charges. Let the DA charge him.

[@Whiskey11Gaming]

And the response in court will be "I may have been drunk, but as the chief of police I'm always responsible for the actions of my officers. I was in the performance of my official duties when I approached the sergeant and wanted to make sure he was doing his job. I saw his jacket was out of regulations, and....blah blah blah."

@@Whiskey11Gaming if you are intoxicated you are in no condition to accept any responsibility.you may not even plead guilty to DUI while intoxicated. If someone can not control themself when consuming alcohol. They should not consume.

[@Whiskey11Gaming]

@mrheart4242 I'll tell that to my chief during our policy review where it specifically states officers may be called in, even if intoxicated, at the chiefs discretion for shift coverage or emergencies. Granted, that officer is not allowed to drive until they are under the legal limit, and are there more for backup, but the reality is it is common in police agencies that bring drunk is not a get out of work free card for every situation. We are still obligated by law to attempt to arrest people we know have warrants, even off duty (phone calls to on duty units/ dispatch suffices), and many other instances in which we are mandatory reporters or have forced law enforcement actions (DV is a big one of it happens in public). Hell, Chicago PD still allows officers to drink on duty so long as their BAC is below .05 by the end of the shift and no one checks for compliance unless there are problems or complaints.

​@@user-lp3cf5yn5b Being German (Well, Bavarian) i was so shocked about how frowned upon it is in the USA to appear drunk in Public. Hell, even drinking a Beer in Public is considered bad and i believe illegal in some US States. Now i'm not saying that to mock the USA, but it's funny how Cultures differ. Because being drunk in Public as well as walking around with a Beer or 6 and drink them in Public is very normal here and if you're drunk here and walk around, you're not afraid of the Police at all, almost the opposite. Because culturally the Cops are so used to it and know that Beer is an important Cultural Part of Germany and especially Bavaria that they act just like if they met someone sober. Just thought i share that because i'm always fascinated about how Cultures (even just in the West) differ so extremely. Now this might make you assume Germany is full of drunk Morons like this Police Chief but no, because it's so culturally respected and acceptable, even most drunk or tipsy People know only to be drunk or tipsy outside of Work and when in that State outside of Work, they grew up being insanely aware of what Alcohol does to you and make extra sure to be nice, orderly and just a Joy to be around when drunk or tipsy.

Ah yes the double standard. Anyone care to count up how many charges a civilian would catch if he did this? Drunk and disorderly, obstruction, assault, the list goes on.

[@citizensnips475]

A civilian probably wouldn't catch any of those either. Chief wasn't disorderly enough for a D&D. An arm grab probably isn't going to get an assault charge. Only thing a civilian might get is obstruction, but with the chief he kinda has a excuse to be involved due to his position. He could later claim he wasn't drunk and he just believed he had a duty to enforce attire protocol or whatever. So I doubt an obstruction charge would stick if issued.

[@jamesteegardner2273]

@markasread4349 Delusional is the word.
