What, all 6-8 weeks of it? 😂. In the E.U and UK it’s 2-3 years of training, then 2 years of probation. To be an armed response officer (in the UK), it’s 12 additional months of training, and that’s after a MINIMUM of being in the job for 5 years with a clean record. And if you fail the course? Well, you can never be an armed response officer… at all. Ohhh and every 12 months you have to be recertified, which takes 2 weeks of practical, written and psychological testing; again, if you fail then you can’t be an armed response officer. So yeah, I bet your train was “brutal” 😂🤣☠️.

Also a lot of random sh*t happens. Chance occurrences etc. Especially when alcohol is involved. And alcohol is socially acceptable to consume. Especially when celebrating life achievements or milestones. Many of us have driven under the influence (to some degree) but since we didn’t get caught we are better than those that do. Does that make it right for this guy to drink and drive? No it does not but he wasn’t on the clock. What would be so wrong about letting him serve his time without further punishment? It’s ironic for a “correctional” institution to assume people cannot change.

[@David_K_pi]

@@orangedrone - Nope! As a police officer, he has to be held to a higher standard. If he is let off with a slap on the wrists, what message does that send to the rest of the population. He knew better; they taught him better at the police academy. And now he showed that he was not actually fit for the job. I feel bad for him and can't imagine what he is going through right now, but it's his own fault. The one good thing about this incident is that maybe others will learn from it.

Poor guy. 😢

[@TomGeek1980]

So glad he was fired and not put suspended with pay.

[@Anthony-qj7qe]

Wow that career lasted a whole minute.

[@jenscheibner792]

He was celebrating his graduation... Definition of ironic...

[@andrewszombie]

"Roger's dirty cop -- he's been on the force for three hours!"😂

[@GinCollins007]

He needs to take this and turn it into something positive, like return to school and become a bar tender.

[@carlsaganlives4141]

Not the ideal retirement he had in mind, but the memories of a half of a day career spent as a dedicated crime-fighter? Timeless...

[@user-lc9bc9st3i]

His classmates "im gunna be the best cop ever" Him "hold my beer"

[@EdiJaka73]

He was partying so hard after graduation and he thought he could getaway from drinking and drive.

[@user-ih3bd3it6b]

He will always be remembered as #1 officer and employee of the month

[@leofangd8501]

I remember him from high school. He was sent to detention moments after the graduation ceremony.

[@slacker1]

Maybe that Janitor position is still open...

[@lifedeather]

@@slacker1he would be fired before entering his first bathroom 😂

His whole life was like that. He shits after he wipes too.

[@pingpong517]

Legends say bro is holding the world record speedrun in that category

[@viajandoyaprendiendoconRicardo]

He made a difference, the room lighted as soon as he stepped in, he is a father, a brother, a son, and a drunk. He looks like he is the type of policeman who, even if you are sober, makes you walk 15 times back and forth until you stagger and your life takes a turn into misery.

[@Wernotfree]

Thank you Chief for getting this dangerous individual off the streets. If he'd gotten away with this there's no telling what else he would have done in the future.

[@crossman20]

There are plenty more of his kind who think having a badge means the law doesn't apply to them.

[@jasonbourne1596]

​@@crossman20It doesn't, even in this case. I'll wager he was fired but not charged with DUI.

[@jasonbourne1596]

He's still out there, probably drunker than before.

[@timeout...4nva]

Helluva resume. Phoenix will hire him…fit right in.

[@Polemic-2525]

After throwing that all away, he now has a good reason to get drunk and act stupid. Mistake of a lifetime.

[@hyperionsupreme551]

He is merely a reflection of all Police Officers.

[@Periwinkleblue.]

This speaks more to the Academy's selection process.

[@carrloissgarzia4905]

They are trained and get pay to to protect and serve the public and to enforce the law . Excellent job by the Chief to fired him.

[@tjslooking]

According to the Court, they have "NO DUTY TO PROTECT" anyone. We are on our own, and you have a "DUTY TO PROTECT" yourself and your family. Warren v. District of Columbia... The trial judges held, "that the police were under no specific legal duty to provide protection."

[@evanbelisle8464]

“Protect and Serve” was made up by a PR team.

[@KB-kp2oz]

They literally aren't and don't do any of that. Tell me you have your head in the sand.

[@gracefaith6699]

He shouldn't have been hired in the first place. So stop giving credit where it's not due.

[@8siandude72]

This is the quickest speedrun of getting fired I've seen.

[@BigBootyBandito-ou4fn]

He went to a graduation party sanctioned by his graduating academy class. He is a victim

[@Moondustsmellsfunny]

Getting fired before your first shift is insane 😭

[@SgtTanPants]

Crazy thing I was told in the academy by my instructor was the sheer number of officers fired after graduation but before work. Cadets graduate and go out drinking to celebrate, get DUIs and are fired. This is a very frequent thing apparently . lol

[@jamierupert7563]

Let me guess, you're a good cop, right????? 😂😂😂😂 There is no such thing and if you say you are, we ALL already know you're lying.

When, "To Serve and Protect" becomes, "To Swerve and Connect." What's wrong with this world? A fella can't have a little celebration for his graduation?

[@RedFail1-1]

Damn bro... How do you mess up that badly? He chose the dumbest thing to do as a law enforcement officer..
