Officer First Class Stephens
I am reading this article today about a police officer who was arrested on a DUI, booked then released. He wasn’t put in Jail. Now there is a pending investigation into the matter. They are looking into why he wasn’t put in jail like everyone else who is arrested on a DUI. As well the determination of his badge as well. Ok I understand that there should be an investigation into these matters as one’s superior. But I am sure this happens frequently where cops pull each other over and don’t arrest cause the other is a cop. I have heard stories from other officers I have known. Anyways, I guess what is so frustrating to me is that we all would get arrested and spend time in jail, and would pay large fines, and possibly loose our jobs and possibly ruin our lives. I wish that our community, local, state, and federal leaders (cops, city officials, government elected officials, etc) would actually adhere to the rules and laws they create and enforce on us. It is absurd to think that I will respect the authority of my government when they break the same laws as me and are told not to do it again. Not put through the judicial system they would put me though. I don’t think that is so much to ask. I am just tired of the “do as I say not as I do” government.
I could go on forever about this I guess what I am saying I think that leaders of any capacity should have a moral obligation to at least “practice what they preach.” I guess I am alone on this!
