        But why do that when they can just chalk it up to “I thought she was drunk” and nothing happens to them

          Thats another subject.
          You were making excuses for the pigs’ incompetence (how were they supposed to know?), I pointed out, from the article, why the excuse is not valid.

      As is drunkenness and low blood sugar from a diabetic episode. Maybe it’s time we hold our officers accountable and require those they suspect are impaired to be seen by medical personal who then, if tests show, have a BAC above a set amount share that information with law enforcement.

      Officers have been shown they aren’t trustworthy enough to have the discretion to determine between medical aid or drunkenness.
