An investigative report concludes that a Baltimore police officer who died when his cruiser crashed into the back of a fire truck was speeding.

The cop wasn't killed by speeding, he was killed by the sudden stop without a seatbelt.

Was it at night? Who goes the speed limit when there are no other cars on the road? Heck, I don't even come to a complete stop at stop signs when I'm the only one on the road & I have a clear view in all directions.
Speed limits & stop signs are for the morons out there that would not otherwise drive in a reasonable way. Thanks to the law, we are all demoted to their level, all the time.

One more thing- if I ever lost a loved one to a drunk driver's bad driving, I certainly wouldn't join MADD or some other nonsense. The PERSON does the bad thing, not the alcohol. I'd kill the guy, not try to get booze banned. Get bad drivers off the road permanently, and you automatically solve the 'drinking & driving' problem.

No offense.

No, I'm not. And I have no clue what's prompted your little hissy fit on this matter.

Other countries where drinking is much more acceptable by society don't have such as bad an issue w/ DUI as we do in the US.

It's because we say one thing, then do another, all the while we wink and nudge each other, with the implied message that"REAL" men can hold their liquor, get behind a wheel and probably drive better than when they're sober.

Complete and total. b.s.

Ancient history IMO.
The real message is: have .000001% more alcohol in your system than law allows WHEN we inevitably pull you over for some little thing or other, and we got you by the wallet.

Getting s***faced & then driving all over the road is something a dope does, and dopes should not have a driver's license anyway- problem solved.

So, what was the verdict on Alan?

A female passenger who was sober drove the Land Cruiser after the arrest, Smith said.

He had had 'a few beers'...
We must define 'few'. 3 or 4? No big deal. He IS a large, semi-muscular man. Forget it & get him for the speeding.
12 or 13? Say bye to the license, says I.

I think that if Alan was over the legal driving limit for alcohol then he should be punished like anyone else, I still hope he wasn't but that is neither here nor there. Celebrities are human, they make the same mistakes as everyone else, and should be punished in the same ways as everyone else.

The 'legal limit' is a degree set by suits for political & economic reasons. It, like many other laws, does not take individual differences into account.
It's very ALLIANCE that way, you see.
Individuality takes a back seat to broad, sweeping rules, that, BTW, do not include our rule-MAKERS or enforcers.

Chew on that, why doncha?

Very surprised to read this. The limit set was the lower limit for when people begin to become impaired.

If reports are true: He failed a field sobriety test, and the police were doing right to arrest him.

In my state, failure to submit to breathalyzer means one year suspension of driver's license. This is one of those instances where it is of greater benefit to all, including the impaired driver, to err on the side of caution because of the potentially lethal results. Most DUI offenders who cause an accident (not even a fatality) regret their decision tremendously when sober.

Having individual freedom does not exempt one from responsibility, nor from obeying established rules. It's anarchy which does that, and it is very bad.

Right, except for body mass.

I, for example, am easily over the limit on a glass and a half of wine. My friend Richard, being a tall man with plenty of muscle, takes considerably more to get drunk. He's probably not over the limit until his fifth scotch. So he gets to drink more than me before he's impaired. He'd still be impaired.

Facts are stubborn things.
