Thank God he didn't kill anyone. He's a 28 year veteran. Couldn't have been his first time DUI while on duty.
No injuries were reported.
"An on-duty state trooper crashed his police cruiser into another vehicle while allegedly driving drunk with an open container Monday, authorities said
The crash happened around 2 p.m. in the Monmouth service area on the Garden State Parkway in Wall Township, police said.
Roadside, a 28-year veteran of the force, "was immediately relieved of his duty weapon and taken into custody," the statement said."
Yeah, if you want, I can run down the line of my local police blotter and post each and every incident found therein, too. Sh*t happens, every single day.
Only thing that makes this remotely noteworthy (from a national perspective) is the fact that he was on duty at the time. Still, things happen every day. I don't know what you're looking for when you post this--vitriol regarding 'the police'? I certainly regard those gun-toting badge-brandishers with a healthy dose of skepticism, but that's because they're humans with a certain degree of power and thus must be regarded with some degree of skepticism.
Op ..I wouldn't be a good week for you unless you found some story about some policeman doing something so totally screwed up.. We get that
This trooper will retire... He will be eligible for retirement.. He will get charged and convicted if he is guilty.. He will be subject to the disdain from some of his peers.. Sadness from others.. Making twenty eight years today as a policeman today means seeing and doing things unimaginable for people who have little idea what service is.
A dui is a murderer waiting to happen ...
Sad.. Lost his way... Similar to people who smoke dope...
If hes drinking at 2 in the afternoon in a police car he's an alcoholic... A real sickness.. His medicine will be reality...
Your assumption about his sobriety on duty is just that.. Show us evidence.. Which you can't

In general I agree with your post.
However, you pretty much contradict yourself when you state he's an alcoholic, but then criticize the OP for saying it probably wasn't the first time he was drinking on duty. And I say that as the son of an alcoholic.

Exactly.
I find it hard to believe that he woke up that morning and decided to drink while on duty for the first time after 28 years on the force.
Since this appears to be an alcoholism situation, here we have the OP berating those with recognized diseases/illnesses.
What is the agenda now, go after those with diseases or only certain people with diseases?
Do you want the police in your community to be on tour while drunk?
He has a disease, he's old enough to know to get some help. I'm sure if he took a leave of absence to dry out, he'd still have his job waiting.
After 28 years on the force, why would an officer risk it all to drive while drunk?
Any civilian faces the same charges only it appears more egregious when an officer of the law is on duty while drunk. His judgment is off, he might kill an innocent person, etc. This is told all the time when a civilian gets behind the wheel and drives drunk, why not him?
Wow, he actually did commit a crime, and had been committing crimes all along but no ones calling the cop a criminal, only that he made a mistake. No ones calling for his death. Funny how that works.
Theres alot of rhetoric missing in this thread, I will oblige, from the hands of posters in other threads calling for immediate deaths of criminals:

Just because some punk is an idiot too doesn't mean they get a do-over. One less dangerous fool on the streets.
He proved he was dangerous.

Wrong, then it would have became a high speed chase, no doubt and you don't think that his life would have been in danger, let alone all the other "innocent" motorists who happened to be traveling the roads that day!
Quote:
Now you are here trying to defend a stupid criminal. It is little more than thread trying to stir the cop hate pot.
Quote:
given that many criminals are repeat offenders, then doesn't it follow, according to your logic, that this criminal had previously committed many crimes and was highly likely to commit additional crimes in the future?
Quote:
Disgusting are the excuses for thugs, punks and others who won't obey they laws, create the conditions for their own demise and then the apologists and bleeding hearts who wouldn't live within miles of any of them, complain about the police.
Right, some people hate cops because thugs and punks break laws. Save it.
There we have it, don't blame the criminal for anything.

moral of the story: If you do, buy or sell drugs, it's probably not going to end well for you. Find another hobby that's not illegal.

And if (since so many love to use "if") some woman with a baby stroller happened to be crossing the path of that punk, think he'd care anymore?
Quote:
No, he is a peace officer, whose job is to keep the innocent public safe and out of harm's way. A drugged up thug brazen and desperate enough to gun his vehicle towards a cop and run from the law is a risk and a threat to the public. The peace officer did what he's entrusted to do. Moral of the story: Respect the laws of the land and be a decent human being.

The way I feel about it is there is one less reckless criminal on the streets, but I would not have shot the guy in that situation. Not sure if shooting the tire or a window is a practical and permitted alternative

Bull****. People who drive under the influence of marijuana endanger themselves and the public.

True or False: A violent, drug-dealing junkie being taken off the streets is a good thing for society?

Just a matter of time as to who would end up shooting him, another druggie or the cops. Either way, same end.

I bet he has a mental problem but man how fregin stupid can a person be lol!!

Now we taxpayers will have to foot the bill for someone who would have been better off dead.

Police can't win can they? Seems no matter what, someone complains. Anyway, the criminal wins stupid of the week award.
Quote:
If he shot the guy 90% of city data would be blaming the cop. They would use their vast police experience to disarm this individual. They would also say this cop is lying. The cop would be called every name in the book. Lastly because of cops like this the public will never have confidence in the police lol!!!
Lol, this is only from 2 threads. I could go on, but...
I do also notice no one showing concern for the well being of the woman whose car he smashed, or how many other people he "could have" crashed into and hurt.
