This one caught me by surprise. A couple of police officers in Columbus OH were caught driving under the influence. The offiers were off-duty when the arrest happened. The night of the arrest, one on-duty officer reported to a car accident only to find the driver to be one of his fellow officers. Apparently the DUI offender is a 22-year veteran and has been a well renowned officer the entire time. Other officers found it shocking that he would do such a thing and have it lead to something so tragic.
I think it's a good example of officers doing the right thing by not displaying favoritism. They could have let the officer off by association, but instead required him to man up to the consequences. Eventually, the officer relinquished his command and resigned from the force on his own accord.
