So the moral of the story? Not all of law enforcement are jerks. Not all of law enforcement are bullies. Not all of law enforcement are out to ruin peoples' day. Not all of law enforcement are idiots, or stupid, or of below average intelligence.

The only problem that I see is that the guy needed to be arrested.
He has an alcohol abuse issue, and he had no business in the car with the keys.
Big what if, but what if he had been involved in a DUI crash later that night that killed innocent person(s)?

I would not call you a jerk, bully or an idiot if you had arrested him. You would have just been doing your job.
You have every right to disagree with me or anybody else, just as we have every right to disagree with you. It seems to have gotten worse in the last week or so and I don't really understand why.
Most online hate for LE is in my opinion because they got a bad speeding ticket or something.
His wife drove when they left. If he'd driven, we would've nabbed him.

Maybe your arguments here about Michael Brown and Eric Garner fall on the side of 'law and order' a bit much when clearly those two cases are representative of police abuse of authority.
In Browns case, the whole justice system stinks to high heaven. Yet every post you make in these discussions supports the justice system blindly and marginalizes any protest movement as riots, thieves and looters. If you wanted an opinion about that, there it is. Not judging your job performance just your posture as a whole towards recent unjust events in the main stream.
Sorry for insulting you yesterday.

Look at it this way.
If someone calls you a pig...awesome,pigs and pork taste awesome and bacon is a kickass thing that comes from pigs.
Who doesn't like bacon and pork chops....I see it as a compliment.
If someone called me an eggplant I might get pissed off because those things taste like crap.
Meh...just lightening the mood.
We disagree and suddenly we're pigs and whatnot.
