Dangers of a double standard
by James on Jun.20, 2010, under News
Drunk police officer discharges her weapon in squad car. Must be Texas.
What makes this story interesting is that this police officer, who was off duty at the time, was so drunk that two on duty police officers were summoned for her. They put her in the back of the squad car. She argues with them, pulls out her service pistol and fires it.
Luckily, no one was injured. It is, though, a double standard that because she was a police officer they didn’t attempt to find out if she was armed or, that if they knew or suspected, attempt to disarm her. If it had been anyone else that is one of the first thing the officers would have done and this whole even would never had occurred.
This is what happens when segment of the population is deemed to be above the law.
Bonus double standard. The suspects name is strangely withheld in the article.

You mean knock her down, kneel on her head, and dislocate her arms. Maybe punch her a few times?
