Having been in law enforcement for 28 years I have seen many deputies ruin their careers by doing very stupid things like this trooper did. Each time I’ve been on the scene of incident like this as a supervisor the first thing I did was confiscate badge ID and gun so the deputy/officer understood clearly that there would be accountability and no special treatment would be given. Losing your integrity to uphold the law you’ve sworn to uphold is something you can never recover from

[@dwlopez57]

[@dennisjohnsen7297]

I know there is an increasing outrage across the nation regarding law enforcement. I understand the need for qualified immunity just like I understand the need for social welfare. I think the issue the public (me being a member of the public) has is when it is abused. When someone is suspected of welfare fraud, the people don’t try to shoe horn in a crazy justification for it, but when public servants that cannot perform their duties effectively and efficiently without the public trust betray that trust, there seems to be an enormous amount of effort spent on figuring out how to justify it. I’m only speaking generally and I know there are plenty of agencies that do it right. My Sheriff has been in office for decades. He’s tough, but he also knows that this is a rural county and people who live here don’t move out to the boondocks to be hassled. I’ve seen several deputies get fired for relatively minor things, but He doesn’t tolerate his deputies crossing the line. I don’t know your health condition or what demands your life has, but I think you could continue to serve your community and your descendants by finding a way to bridge the gap between LEOs and the public. The nonsense of defunding the police is ludicrous. We all want law and order. We want LEOs that want to serve their communities, not lord over them. Cops are people, I get it, but cashiers are people, too. When a cashier commits a crime, well I think you get it. This nation could use men like you (I’m assuming that you are Mr. Cody, if not, I will claim unqualified immunity!) and fellow professionals like you that can see the direction that local and state law enforcement is headed. If things don’t change, I foresee the federal government taking over all law enforcement functions in this country. If that happens, qualified immunity will be the license to burn the constitution. Thanks for your service and I hope retirement is treating you well. I’m retired Army, but I’m still working and raising 4 kids.

Sickens me seeing cops deal out those who served dui's when it's proven a driver is under the influence , give them the dangers speech them do the same thing. Working drunk driving crashes, seeing the victims impact and yet thinking because they have a badge they are OK to do so. Thankfully at this day the damage he caused was minor and he was stopped before worse could have happened. I'm disgusted by his actions and the punishment he recieved. He needs far more education classes that what the courts gave him as punishment and should be allowed to West a badge until he can prove he had been sobor for 6 months. Our officers need a higher punishment for doing this.
