I remember distinctly in high school a cop describing the horrors of a DUI accident scene. Me thinks this officer either didn’t get the memo or the cop from high school was lying.
Either way this officer definitely should have known better. At least his department gave him unpaid leave. Would be better if they canned his ass.

Because it’s only a problem to drive under the influence if you’re not a cop.
They dropped 9 additional charges including unlawful detention. The whole incident overall is very disturbing, especially since the incidents go all the way back to October 2010.
Remember though, many claim that the police should be given a monopoly on force because they are somehow anointed and worthy of magical trust. I’ve got more to add on that but I’m still letting my anger subside.

Because when you pull over a hot chick, make her strip for you, you’re a cop right you just need to make up an excuse.
Excuse me officer, why would you ask that question once, much less three times. Were you hoping she would give you coffee after assaulting her under color of law?

Because when you see a hot chick leave a bar and you want to cop a feel, you can just make it happen.
Tell me, if someone threatened me and I opened fire on a car full of innocent people where would I be right now? These officers will not be punished despite their gross negligence of firing into a truck that was the wrong color to boot.
Of note though look at how the actions of a single man have put one of the largest police forces in the country on its toes. Tell me, how is it going to work attempting to confiscate guns from a bunch of people who don’t want them confiscated?

Because when some nut job is threatening you, you can shoot whoever the hell you want without any restraint. You’re in fear for your life right?*
*Yeah that excuse doesn’t work for the rest of us so why does it all the sudden work here?
Remember, just call 911 and the police will be on their way to save you.
So tell me, do you still want to trust the police to save your life when seconds count? He’s being paid by the public to perform his duties and does nothing. Now remember the state is protected from such negligence as this since the police have no duty to respond, see Warren v. District of Columbia.
When someone breaks into your house in the middle of the night, which do you want?
To call 911 and pray they arrive in time to stop the criminal aggressors.
A method to quickly and easily defend yourself at a distance minimizing risk to yourself and family.
There are those currently in the government that want to remove that second option.

Because when seconds count, those charged and paid to help the public would rather drink coffee and ignore their duty. It’s not fraud when you’re lying and getting paid for what you lied about right?
Screwed up barely begins to describe this situation and honestly those two officers are lucky they weren’t perforated. In the current political climate, officers behaving like this could very well set off a powder keg.
Go read the whole story, it’s long enough and complicated enough I cannot easily post get all the details here. However here’s the money shot:
Reading through the comments indicates that Lake Stevens has a serious problem with this type of behavior and corruption.

Because warrants, probable cause, and all that other stuff are for other police officers. These two can kick in whatever door they want, arrest whoever they want, threaten whoever they want, out of uniform, and absolutely nothing will happen to the officers. Instead the taxpayers payout for their crimes.
