Oh give me a fucking break
Oct. 19th, 2007 02:45 amNYPD bitches about policy that would indicate if they were sober or not when they shot someone.
Their complaint is that it's an unreasonable search and that "there is no reason or justification to subject an officer who legally fires a weapon ... to the humiliation and psychological trauma of a mandatory Breathalyzer test."
Yeah, except for the fact that... I don't know... you shot someone? I mean, hell, if I'm driving erratically, or acting weirdly around a police officer, or any number of other things.... you know, I'd bet it would be standard procedure to see if I'm drunk or stoned or whatever.
Same goes for the cops. I have no problem with a policy that says that they shouldn't have to show if they were impaired due to alcohol or drugs if they resort to lethal force.
