guess he has a serious drinking problem

Future verdict: Suspended with pay.

agreeed

cases like this makes the entire police force look bad.

you know there has to be a background story behind this. 16 years being on the force, he would with experience have way better judgement, seeing countless drunk driving deaths, accidents.

I'm giving him a open door and see what the real reason is. Divorce, lost of a love one, things like that. He better be pushing papers the rest of his life, if thats the case

And we look bad because of Freddy Fonseca. :lol

I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often, or we just don't hear about it. Policing is a stressful and frustrating job combined with long hours, it's bound to push some people over the edge.

sounds like another police drunk driving case that will get swept under the rug as usual...

Why would you?


If it were you or me, do you think the cop who busts you, the judge or the general public would care?


Lots of people are under a lot of stress with work, family, money, etc. That's no excuse.



On the news, they said he already was since his last incident = more time to spend at the bar while getting paid on our dime. They said they would review the current situation and he might be dismissed.

:werd:

no but my job doesn't have to look at dead bodies, mangled up bodies in car crashed, investigate crime scenes. Things like Robert Pickton.

yes he's trained for this type of work, but given 16 years on the force, nothing prior(that we know of.) I just would give the benefit of the doubt to a police officer. They are the first to put their necks out in a bad situation.

All that being said, i never said he doesn't deserve punishment, he should be pushing papers for the rest of his life.

How does that fix anything? It's not like he was out on-duty and patrolling when he got picked up for DUI.

gay cop

Sorry, I don't buy it. How many times do you see firemen in the news doing dumb stuff like this? They see waaaay more disgusting medical emergencies, crackheads ODing, and a ton of the same car crashes as cops.


I guess he means the job fucked him up over the years and that may have contributed to his drinking problem. Still doesn't excuse his actions though.


This guy is damaged goods, time to let him go or reinstate him to desk duty after rehab and a psych evaluation.

I should apply for the RCMP.

Interviewer: Why do you want to be a RCMP officer ?

Me: I get to taser and kill someone with no consequences. I get to look at kiddie porn with no consequences. I get to drink and drive with no consequences. I get paid to sit on my ass when I get in shit, and at the end of it all, I get a pension from the Federal government. WHO WOULDN'T WANT THIS JOB?!

suspended with pay to support local liqor stores !!!

dont blame the cop, he is the source of our liqor tax

So we pay alcoholics to fight crime? To keep us safe? Wtf.

best of all u rarely get shot compare to the states

:thumbsup:

+1

Pretty much my view. Desk duty until retired.

i hope he gets terminated.

Firefighters also do dumb stuff.

Its called addiction. Its a disease. It makes people think what wrong is right. There is no judgement when you are addicted to drugs and alcohol.

He needs to go to rehab.

Screw that.

Termination and a permanent record on his federal records is what is required.

The only job he should have is $11 an hour working security at the PNE.

oh look, another cop gets to keep his job. what a fucking joke.

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - A constable is still employed by Vancouver Police even though he's pleaded guilty to impaired driving. The VPD will only say that Constable James English is still on desk duty.

Last week, English pleaded guilty to a single count of impaired driving and was given a one year driving ban and fined over $1,100. English was arrested in a Highway One RCMP roadblock at the end of August.
