Thanks. I don't think there is any good way out of this situation now. Even if West is 100% alcohol free, I didn't see anything in that video which would make me feel safe with her driving with any of my loved ones. It also appears we have added another candidate to the bone heap.
Regardless of the outcome, I think the officer's career is probably over. To some extent, even if this was 100% a result of being over zealous I think this officer would be taking the fall for badly executed policy and poor training .... IF it turns out to be the case. Only losers in this one.
I think the officer will do very well. As long as her face hasn't been leaked to the media then she will be fine.
Hopefully she will not be doxxed. Alan West giving out her name and badge number is inexcusable.
Perhaps some additional training and a little humility is all that is needed for her to be an excellent police officer.
She's already been doxxed and received death threats, Alan West knew exactly what he was doing when he kept putting her name and badge number out there. It was a cowardly leftist tactic that exposed exactly who he is.
HTF does this officer need to learn humility? She was controlled and professional throughout the stop, if you can watch the Youtube video of the stop and Alan West's comments and come to the conclusion the officer is the one needing to humble herself, there is something wrong with you.
I had a long post about the video.
I also have commented about Alan West's intimidation
In several posts, including the one you quoted.
You can read my observations in those posts.
You can agree or disagree. If I were on a jury and all I had was that video, Mrs West wouldn't be convicted.
Of course other evidence will be admitted. The blood results will be key.
If the report states that Mrs West shirt had been wet or stained by an alcoholic beverage, the video doesn't support that claim. I see no indication of a wet spot or stain on Mrs West's blouse. If it were there, then it should show when the officer shines the light on her during the eye test. This contradiction creates doubt in the report. It is not a bias, it is logic. If the officer lied in her report in order to have a greater chance of a conviction then she was not doing her job. I do not know either way. Even if Mrs West is found guilty, if the report includes false information then the officer needs additional training. I would guess that a defense attorney could turn a jury based upon a small detail like that.
As a chat room we have the luxury of speculation as things develop. The legal system should not work that way. A few cases last year, however, seem to convict officers in public opinion to the point of having kangaroo courts just reconfirming public opinion based on fear of repercussions.
I respect the job of law enforcement and despise the entire defund the police movement. I respect those who do the job and am thankful they are there to protect the public.
Nothing I said in any of my posts supports or encourages death threats to the officer.
As I mentioned above if it turns out in favor of Mrs West, anything regarding the officer is an internal DPD matter only.
Edit to remove the personal counter attack and ask why are you personally attacking me when we probably are in complete agreement regarding the actual villain in this situation.
