Maybe there is some slow, but positive, cultural change happening at KPD. In the recent past, it was very common that officers were never arrested for DWI when they were involved in collisions. This officer was. It is almost refreshing.
such as? What crash and where?
Since you guys are cops, you know this comment to be true. Don’t pretend to be offended. Cops would even show up at day shift roll call so hung over they were legally intoxicated. Many of the supervisors were the biggest drunks. Yes, many of the drunken.kpd cops have retired, but there are many still around.
Are you speaking from personal knowledge or are you just talking out of your ass?
I’m talking out of my ass and right into your face
i can tell. another idiot posting shit they know nothing about. dime a dozen
Why would his face be in your ass?
Lmao i love seeing officers that arrested me getting karma. Hahahah
He deserved to get arrested for driving drunk and crashing. You probably deserved to get arrested for what you did. That’s not karma, its consequences.
I did deserve to get arrested but did not deserve to get lied on in the police report. Or kicked while cuffed.
If thats what the bodycam showed, post it.
No body camera
lol “he lied about me! I’m an upstanding citizen!” 🤣
“It’s not fair!”
I would have kicked you, too, loser…
No you wouldnt.
Stop molesting children and you wont get arrested
The difference is he was drinking and driving and you were probably smoking meth or stealing from the dollar store, loser.
So that makes a difference your clearly the loser for makin g the comparison
Never done meth. Lol. Also dont steal. So strike and a miss for you.
…and a miss,” Mr. Metaphor.
Do you really believe that drunk driving is the worst thing that officers do?
Perjury is almost a job requirement. Many abuse steroids and opioids. They beat their wives and girlfriends.
They are no different than the rest of degenerate society, except, many of them exhibit an air of superiority, They think they are better.
Tell me you’re a loser criminal without telling me 🤣
Sorry buddy, you know that what this guy wrote is true. You are proving it so with this comment.
lol again, sorry you’re still bitter about being caught 😉
100%
Everybody makes mistakes move on let him enjoy his life not yours dealing with people in Kenosha ain’t easy do yall ever think about that prayers to the officer.
It doesn’t give him the right to drink and drive! Luckily no one was hurt or killed. I understand the stress and trauma he could be going through but stay home and drink. Better yet, seek professional help.
The only rights you have is to die and pay taxes. Grow up and look around…
Crime is a crime. Deserves jail and to get fired but the Union will protect their brother.
Just because a Police officer gets an OWI it doesn’t mean that they will automatically lose their job. There are policies and a union that have agreed on protocols handling a situation like this.
I’m in absolutely no way defending Cops, F/f’s or any such position when this happens. Just like others this cop might of arrested for OWI, he F’ed up and will have to face the consequences just like anyone else.
I believe K.M will make sure this is handled appropriately and with transparency!!
A cop gets an OWI… they get grilled by the media… punished at work… made an example of….
Joe Blow Kenoshan gets an OWI… they take their municipal ticket with them to brag about next weekend at the bar.
And?
He will lose his job, his license will be suspended/revoked depending on if he provided a breath/blood sample.
First OWI is a Municipal ticket. He will get reprimanded at work and do some suspension days.
More than you drunks will get for even a 3rd OWI.
Police have very stressful jobs. I’m sure he’s a good one.
I have a stressful job and I’m a good person too— do I get a free pass to break laws too?
He didn’t get a free pass. He got the same ticket everyone else gets.
He had a lengthy disciplinary record with KPD.
False
True
False.
If you think he has a disciplinary file then let’s see it.
Using alcohol to cope is extremely irresponsible, I don’t care what excuses you bring. And for someone charged with upholding the law this should be frowned upon at the very least. In my opinion it should be department policy for officers to abstain from drug or alcohol use. Unfortunately though we live in a world of double standards.
Strive to be the salt of the earth, no matter what kind of experiences you’ve had in life.
Religious kiss ass?
I’ll pray for you too.
Don’t be a bitch your entire life, there may still be hope.
We are All in this together. The system is changing. Our children will live in the Age of Aquarius 2028. Our body is our Temple. Time to Rebuild…
Oh get off your high horse!!!
Where’s the mug shot/booking info like everyone else gets when they get a DUI — or is there preferential treatment being given to certain individuals because they’re LEOs? They deserve the “name and shame” treatment like everyone else! Where’s the body cam video, or do they get a pass too?
People don’t always get booked for first offense OWI as it’s not criminal (unless there’s special circumstances). He was probably allowed to call a sober friend to pick him up like most people do in these cases.
Not when you crash wtf ??? He crashed into a pole. Could have killed someone. Anyone else would be in jail!!
Unless its a Felony OWI , you get released to a sober and responsible person, please educate yourself
Where is the booking photo? It does NOT have to be a felony OWI for one of those.
Where’s all the idiots that commented about the last few drunks. They made a mistake, they are changing, blah blah. Now it’s a cop and suddenly you hypocrites want justice. lol. Clowns
People are literally commenting that you fucktard. Fuck drunk drivers and fuck the police too!
Awe did the police arrest you and now your little feelings are hurt? Fucktard
You moron^
^criminal
Back the blue, no matter what they do!
Awe. Criminal record I assume
S
when i was a semi-pro drinker, the teacher in bad drinker “class of 2010”, for DUI folks, said “1 conviction for every 565 times driving drunk. so it mostly was not Johny Red Cheek Cop’s first time at the drunken driving rodeo. he will not get fired.
Bootlickers!!
Yawn.
If Kevin wasn’t around with this site…..I bet they would have swept this under the rug ans they would have gotten away with it. Let’s just be honest.
Oops, typo…..I meant and*
The article states he was book into the jail.. BUT no record of it? Can someone advise where he was booked then??
Give it time
Depends on the arresting department. He could have been arrested by the State Patrol so there was no conflict and booked in the Racine County jail.
Harder punishments for drunk driving for everyone.
