Good post.

[@orangedrone]

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.

I calmly persuaded him to put the weapon down while others looked on in amazement. He then appeared to come out of his trance. Next day I reported the incident and he was immediately terminated.

I work on cruise ship bands and after awhile we just start to hate our life because we play the same songs every cruise and get so drunk while we play nothing seems to matter anymore. Our contracts start out fun during the honeymoon phase and then after awhile it just becomes boring and monotonous to work on a ship, and so I thought it was extra hilarious when we had a saxophone player join the ship to begin his contract and he was given a tour of the ship, shown where the band stand is where we play every night, and then was shown his cabin and within 15 minutes of getting to his cabin he went and resigned from the company after months of preparations. To join a ship, you have to first audition and get the gig through an agency, then do a ship medical which is quite strict and sometimes involves multiple doctors testing multiple things, then you have to get your passport or ensure its valid for a year+, then you have to practice the music and prepare some stuff and plan your life around it, then you have to fly to a remote part of the world to join your ship which for me at least seems to always be on the other side of the globe....and dude just showed up and quit immediately.

Our book keeper a freshly graduated and gorgeous puerto rican chick, was hired at my company, a 350 employee medical manufacturer company, on her first paycheck she went out to celebrate with her boyfriend and friends, got stopped by trooper police for speeding, they were intoxicated, got a DUI and also police found a few grams of illegal substances on the car and all of them were arrested. When she called HR manager on monday to request a loan to pay for her bail bond, she was terminated immediately.

You know exactly how this happened, too. Guy probably out celebrating his graduation, got drunk, made the big mistake of trying to drive home, and now he's paying for it. Remember kids, never go out drinking somewhere that is too far to walk home or without a plan to get home. Dude is just lucky parked cars are all he hit.

[@SilencedByYoutube]

With how easy and cheap it is today to call an Uber or Lyft, there is no excuse to drive drunk. Just leave your car and pick it up the next day. Most rides across town cost like $20 to $30 bucks with tip. People spend that much on 2 drinks nowadays.

[@MattHelmSA]

Add lower hiring standarts (because quotas, and because without lowering them you wouldn`t be able to hire enough cops with the conditions you offer) and a miserable training (because a propper training costs money, too) and it is a miracle how many profesional cops are out there. If not for the people who do it because they feel the call to serve (wich are less and less, everyday) this would be (and will eventually become) the jungle
