I hope you don't turn out to be a troll who looks for cops to critique? There are quite a few firemen who step out of line and when I see them reported on I try to judge them against the backdrop of their encounter without saying, "Oh, here's another drunken fireman behind the wheel." I don't blame you for pointing this out but your attitude stinks.

What would I have done? Anyone could have subdued this drunken man without using his head as a speed bag, you couldn't have?

First part, defenatlly not a troll. Second part, yes I look for Cops to critique. Why? because it's a HUGE problem and only growing by the day. If you can't see it, your blind.
Yes, Firefighters step out of line. I've seen it many times in my 22 years of service and yes, some even drink and drive (although i've never seen of it while they are on duty). So you try to judge Firefighters against the backdrop of their situation, as in drinking and driving? What's to judge, they are fools and should be removed from service, permantlly if doing so while on duty.
Point is LEO's are getting more agressive towards the public, they need to be exposed where needed. Every one of these guys have been through school, they should have been trained in high stress enviroments.
I was trained in high stress enviroments, i've never, ever lost my cool on a scene in 22 years and i've been in some seriously high stress SHTF stuff. I also hold myself to a personal standard that these LEO's (yes, and some Firefighters) do not, honesty and integrity.
Now, don't think i'm a Cop hater. I've worked right along side some of the finest LEO's one could ever work with, I even go to the range with a couple to this day. The couple I still know, know this is a problem and contribute it to the way these guys were brought up and the easing off of the standards in their schooling.
No different in the Fire Service, alot of young guys comming in now days think they can conquer the world and are very, very dangerous and should be watched with a microscope.
So what don't you like about my attitude?
