We applaud police efforts to keep everyone safe, but we also recognize officers aren’t perfect; no one is. While some mistakes are minor, others are serious, as when an officer was arrested for DUI by one of his own colleagues, an uncomfortable but important act of accountability.
Holding an officer to the same standard as anyone else matters for public trust. The arrest is a reminder that accountability sometimes means law enforcement policing its own, even when it’s difficult.
