It's very common for cops to develop an "Us vs. Them" mentality. Which is why they cut each other slack, because they're in a war, and we're the enemy. Please note that this is the view of cops and their copsucker fanboys, not mine.
SMH!! Unfortunately this is too often the reaction of our so-called "public servants." The Mesa P.D. is the same P.D. the murdering cop, Philip Mitchell Brailsford worked for when he murdered Danny Shavers as he begged for his Life...
A husband and wife both servant of laws,both intoxicated. To my eyes both guilty. She shouldn't never allowed him behind the wheels and called a taxi. I know the arresting officer did great but should he have done the same if cameras weren't in place? I don't know
@@vincentcommons9042 I think that he would *always* be thinking of that day as a rookie and probably has it seared in his brain that even a Lieutenant cannot get away with this when he's honestly caught and dealt with according to the law, and therefore he himself would not want to go down that path of arrogance. Just my thoughts.
Mesa police department is corrupt, proven fact , that rookie cop & his instructor will have to watch their backs bad cops don’t like good cops to rat on them
Paul Williams my thoughts exactly, when i see a cop getting shot and everyone gets upset and as well they should but i know from experience in my life ,how many lives has this guy ruined by filing false and or misleading police reports
I’m so proud of the officer that did the right thing and arrested the lieutenant. I’m sure it wasn’t easy to arrest an officer above him...especially as a new police officer...but this was absolutely the right thing to do. Cops should be held to the same laws they expect the citizens they police to follow and the officer driving drunk should be grateful he was stopped before either hurting or killing an innocent person
No Lindsay. Police should be held to a higher standard. They have been trained. Educated and have seen what happens when you drink and drive. Good bless the honest police.
@@mjdamato I don’t know, that would b one of the hardest jobs…to see, death, violence, and get yelled at and abused on a regular basis. I can’t stand officers who abuse their power. Nothing to me is more infuriating so when I c one doing his job right it’s refreshing
Kinda like when your child gets that really good teacher that goes out of her way to make sure your child succeeds. You know when your child has a teacher that is in it for the right reasons. Also, I job I could NEVER do so when it’s done right it’s relieving
wow ELEVEN WHOLE DAYS AT HOME. what a horrible sentence. meanwhile a 16-year-old with an ounce of pot goes to prison for 10 years. yeah no they totally didn't bend the rules for him at all.
As a retired police officer, I commend this rookie officer for doing the right thing. Having been a police officer, I can attest to the pressure put on an officer to grant professional courtesy. Often when an officer chooses to not grant professional courtesy, they will be labeled as someone who isn't a team player. The pressure is tremendous! Kudos to this young officer. He is destined to have a stellar career.
If he is still with the department. What do you think the public thinks about officer integrity after reading your post regarding peer pressures on extending professional courtesy?
@@shadowgarr7649 I would certainly hope they would reserve judgement and not put every officer in the same box, because they aren't. I still believe most officers are professional and well-meaning people and I would hope that most are honest. However, I understand the public losing confidence in officer integrity because of professional courtesy. Again, I will say the pressure to grant professional courtesy can be tremendous. When incidents happen such as we see in this video, the public cannot be faulted for second-guessing and questioning officer actions.
It amazes me that a retired LEO believes this rookie will have a 'stellar career'. Are you being sarcastic? It often doesn't come through in text. This rookie, by not giving the drunk driving cop preferential treatment, made himself many enemies among law enforcement. The Blue Code and the criminals in uniform who honor it do not tolerate cops who don't. They're driven out of the job in one way or another, even out of the profession. Odds are this rookie's just behavior will haunt him as long as he's in LE.
If the drunk lieutenant's self-entitlement is any indication, I'm sure all of his internal affairs investigations had the same conclusion and recommendation: Conclusion - Use of force was justified. Recommendation - Officer should be reinstated to active duty.
There is accountability for police, and no these things don't always disappear. You only hear about the cases that spin out of control on the news, not what happens on a daily basis. You are literally judging police based on 0 empirical evidence @Alex von Kessler
Your 1st sentence is an unfair generalization and mischaracterisation. No respect... FOR BAD COPS AND THOSE WHO PROTECT THEM. Penalties for cops who commit crimes should be more severe not less severe.
Amen, amen, I say to you! Yet most of society has no problem at all enforcing laws selectively and unequally. Indeed Martin Luther King should have included your comment in his Letter From a Birmingham Jail. I'd like to see a society in which both the arrester and arrestee submit reports of what happened. If indeed a cop is not a superior being to other humans, then there is no reason the cop should have the sole and categorical say in the matter. If they are honest, body cameras should not be a problem.
The only reasons they didn't let him go, was because the young guy was training and the camera was rolling. This does NOT go down this way very often. Cops almost never hold one another accountable for anything
@@kenjjjjjjmmmm that's what I'm talkin about Ken somebody who is informed and someone who is knowledgeable and someone who can deliver that which is written in perfect context.
That makes me sick him thinking he was somehow above the law. Thanks to whoever called him in & which ever policeman that was there plus whoever was on the case we may live to see another day that could have been taking away from Somebody because of people like that.
Great job by the training officer. Thank you for honesty and the quality of your character, sir. You family must be proud of who you are. Great to see honest police officers doing their job.
@@enesnyc1662 The training officer actually said "He's not gonna "not arrest" you in front of me". Replay at half speed. Or turn on closed-captions and freeze it at at 3:40 . What he means is that the arrest is going down.
@Susan Sullivan Of the two I've known personally one was running a kickback scheme with towing companies and using police authority to keep anybody who objected in line - as well as to harass the regional utility company in dispute regarding his rental properties. Openly. Bragged about it to me. The other was a white supremacist, failed marine, and a notorious hothead. His local claim to fame was shooting a guy in the butt while the guy charging at him while brandishing a weapon that was actually in a dumpster a hundred feet away.
Respect is earned it is not a privilage. He is now down to the mere mortal like all of us that he started out as thanks to an officer that respects the uniform he wears and displays that respect by honouring his commitment to serve the people.
EuropeOn2Wheels, in that case cops unions need to be dealt with. These guys aren't there to be driving around giving out smiles, they are out there to uphold the law. Unfortunately, lots of them don't know the law, so why are they still employed? Lots of them know the law and decide to break it(this video), so since they have a higher authority than an average citizen it's only logical they get a higher punishment.
Profesional courtesy is just a so-called sophisticated way of outright breaking the law. The cop breaking the law as well as the cop covering for him should be arrested and tried for obstructing to say the least.
@@timthayer6419 over here in the uk, when someone like that and politians, say its an error of judement, coz as you know that sounds better than a crimianal offence, scumbags most of them
Probably not even the first time he was caught in 20 or so years, just the first time he was held accountable. Probably still retire with a pension 3x ours.
No doubt and I'll bet the rolling camera has a lot to do with him getting arrested. No way he gets arrested if there weren't cameras. The fact that there were 2 cops one being a rookie might have made the superior cop do what he did but you never know, he could just be a "good cop." I love the smug look on Dan's face when the cops came up to his car. He was like are you kidding me? Let me just show my badge and be on my way. At 3:51 - "Unbelievable" Dan says like he's being treated unfairly. I hate the double standard.
@@pammastroianni1335 i personally feel its sad. Sad because there are good cops who put their lives on the line to try & keep up civility & prevent anarchy, who because of the bad apples have to suffer along with them.
I think authorities should be held to a higher standard, not be given “professional courtesy”. After 20 years on the job, you don’t know that you shouldn’t drink and drive? Why should you get away with it when other people don’t?
My thoughts exactly. In fact, not only do we know but we’ve SEEN the consequences of drunk driving. If you ask me, that should be written into the statute as an aggravating factor for enhanced sentencing.
@@jenniferquackenbush7458 Used to be. Now I’m a paramedic. But because of my law enforcement background, I hold officers to a very high standard for on and off duty conduct. And having started my career at Maricopa County, this one just grinds my gears.
Absolutely! But Ill tell you this Tucson Police Dept is just as bad if not worse. I can't understand how they can think we should trust them. They give us reasons on a daily basis NOT to trust them ever.
Man these police officers are totally corrupt everywhere and every time they're getting caught beating up people killing people attacking people for no reason
If you think this is a localized issue you're dead wrong. It's a flawed human issue. The only way the senseless violence will ever end is to stop giving the average man or woman "authority" to assault or murder their fellow human.
100% Bullshit, a slap on the wrist. No citizen would have been let go if they had a blood draw of .300. Hundreds of dollars in fines, loss of driving privileges and jail.
The fine alone in AZ for that level of dui is $6,000. Add court costs, home monitoring equip rental, vehicle breathalyzer rental, mandatory vehicle impound of 30 days in AZ and attorney fees and he's probably in for $18-$25k
Exactly Tom Leicht. My son is currently being raked over the coals for a .06 in Michigan where the legal limit is .08. He has had to breathalyze AND drug test every day since the arrest at his own expense. Was tricked into pleading guilty by his court appointed attorney (he told him it was something else. Yes he should have read it but he was still making the mistake that if he cooperated things would go better for him). He's a single father who drives for a living, when the system is done with him he'll lose his job, house and probably his son. And of course his judge was arrested for a .13 in 2006 and got only 6 moths probation.
When he said 140 police officers would be in awe of his presence, I couldn’t help but remember the scene from Red Dragon. “You owe me AWE.” What a disgrace. I wonder how many times he got away with things in the past.
At .30 blood alcohol levels, he has built up a tolerance to alcohol that suggests he is most likely alcoholic, and drinks to excess on a regular basis.
bill ding A long time ago I was interning at a small police department in Michigan. One day we had a guy brought in and his reading was an astounding .37. This resulted in not only an arrest bout a hospital stay for a few days. Not sure what the final outcome was. The more scary part of the story is that he had his wife and kids in the car, and his wife was pretty drunk too.
Here in Colorado there was a cop so drunk he was on the I-25 highway shoulder passed out. It took other cops to remove him from the cruiser. This activity is not unique.
Congratulations Officer Dominguez. Thank you for doing your job and keeping drunk drivers (no matter who they are) off the road. You are to be commended.
All this did. Be a hero. Learn how to job now. Rookie cop.this all b..s... A fake lie. Police don't. At fight. At substations. They pull there guns on each other. So what u think. He didn't do to that rookie cop.a monitor. To stop. From retaliation
Good on that cop who arrested him. You’re going to be a good one, sir! Don’t let those already corrupted corrupt you! You are making citizens proud! And if there are any decency in your profession, they should be proud of you as well....
Slow your roll. If there were no bodycams and dashcams, nobody would have EVER known about this. One of the other officers would have given him a ride home. In the grand scheme of things, like, so what? Not like he broke a minor's nose with his elbow or something.
If that happened in Dearborn County Indiana, the arresting officer would have been deported. If the drunk officer had more pull than the Hispanic officer.
What "EVERYONE" gets 11 days at home arrest? And gets to keep their pension ? with no repercussions? What "EVERYONE" gets treated so honorably as this guy was? One step away from killing innocent people, and if he ran over a vagrant, would probably get off scott free.. We don't know the real actions that were carried out against this drunk even if the arresting officers took it that far, a judge, with a wink and a handshake could wash away the entire incident, that wouldn't happen to an average "Joe". As the Doctor testified, he showed signs that this was not his first rodeo with a bottle and I would be totally surprised if we don't see an other arrest video with the same drunk, of course an 80% chance the next officer will bow down to his thin Blue line crap and it will continue until someone of standing gets crashed into or killed by a retired drunk ex-cop.
I worked for a contractor who was a retired cop for the city of Duluth, MN. He was pulled over 3 times in one day for speeding and received 0 tickets. They watch their own, and have zero respect for the laws they enforce on other people
Profesional courtesy. To believe in the myth that some are, most cops shld be oerfect? Is to deny them their himanity. The whole AA deal? Is abt hoing thru recovery at your speed. Never save an alcoholic from a dusaster, never create a disaster for an alcoholic. They will often abuse holy geck out of certain ppl they have chosen to save them...
I saw a video where a cop pulled a car over for speeding 2 miles over the limit and the passenger called a cop a "Joke" and The cop pulled him out of the car and had his gun license revoked for a year saying the guys wife was scared of the husband... total lie!!
If that were a regular citizen. They would have been cussed and possibly beaten.. but he thinks he was mistreated over handcuffs in the back instead of the front
@free air, you should have said "concussed" as in concussion, instead of "cussed!" Seriously though, you're right. Any of us "free citizens," would definitely have been beaten, accused of resisting arrest, etc. when pulled over! PD'S around the country are NOT conducting proper psychological exams on their employees before hiring them. Or worse yet, they are, and hiring them specifically because they're deranged!
Give it a break with “regular citizens would’ve been beaten” cry. Instance like those do happen, I’m not saying they don’t but the likelihood of that occurring is so rare given how many people are arrested every year. Just because there are some videos that show citizens getting needlessly assaulted by LEO it hardly makes it the majority.
Holy crap. You're insane if you honestly believe that given the same circumstances that a non police dui suspect would have been beaten. There are just as many or more videos of belligerent suspects being treated with respect when it isn't even deserved than there are of people being mistreated by police. Even when the goal of today's victim mentality is to do everything they can to incite cops to treat them badly. I'm getting tired of the whole charade people like you espouse
Lol ur an idiot if u think EVERY profession doesn’t give its fellow employees professional courtesy. Cops are no different. They put their lives on the line every day, if there’s one profession that fellow courtesy should be allowed, it’s law enforcement. I bet you’ve gotten professional courtesy in YOUR line of work.
divorcedme okay I’ll give you a personal example. I used to be a dental hygienist and routinely did root planing (a procedure done to smooth out roots to help the tissue reattach following years of periodontal disease (gum disease). Although there are many minor cases of professional courtesy I gave to fellow hygienists and dentists, one case stands out in particular. A new patient I’m seeing for the first time had undergone a series of scaling and root planing by a hygienist located in the same city as our office about 6 months before. Patients with periodontal disease get check ups every 3-6 months. I’m using an explorer instrument to check her for new or remaining calculus (tarter) and discover she has a large deposit on the backside of her lower right second molar. This tooth surface is notoriously difficult for hygienist due to its location-especially with patients with bone loss. After working on that one tiny area for about 30 minutes, I was finally able to remove a piece of calculus that had been missed by her previous hygienist. Looking back at the patient’s x-rays over the previous years I realized that the calculus was right there on the x-rays dating back 5 years but had been mistaken for an oddity in root anatomy that some patients do have. Had the previous hygienist used a manual explorer and had she been skilled enough, she’d have identified it years earlier which would have aided in the reduction of disease in that area. Instead of telling the patient that her previous hygienist had failed her, I simply told her that “it’s a very difficult area for hygienists to get to and it’s not uncommon for that area to be missed” What I had told her was mostly true but what I didn’t tell her was that her hygienist had been negligent. She had seen this patient 20-30 times over the previous 5 years and missed that spot every time whereas I had discovered it 5 minutes into our very first appointment. So I called the hygienist later that day and discussed this patient and what I had discovered and corrected. I then recommended a specialty scaler she could purchase to help her in detecting hidden calculus below the gum line in that area. I also recommended an advanced course I had taken which I thought might improve her skills. Had I told the patient her previous hygienist had been negligent, she’d have probably filed a complaint with the State Licensing board. No, no one’s life was at risk but I clearly did give that hygienist professional courtesy and probably saved her from having a formal complaint sitting in her licensing file at the state level. This happens ALL the time in dentistry and medicine. Some things we definitely do report but minor ones like the example I gave we tend to handle it privately amongst ourselves.
divorcedme my brother is a commercial and residential painter. A painted house (as opposed to one with say vinyl siding) usually requires painting every 5 years or so. He routinely is hired by upscale residential homeowners and sees evidence of neglect in prior painters work on these homes. Example: it’s obvious to him that a previous painter charged the home owner for very expensive paint but used a paint much cheaper and pocketed the difference. Rather than tell the homeowner what he discovered, he simply uses the actual high end paint the homeowner wants and remains silent. Word gets around in this town and were my brother to be known as a painter that rats out other painters...well let’s just say it’s a cut throat industry and my brother would rather not make enemies. Another example of professional courtesy that my brother probably extends at least 10 times a year or more. It’s like this in nearly EVERY industry you can name. Is it ethical? Maybe not but failing to extend these courtesies can make ones life in a given occupation very difficult. Law Enforcement is no different.
@@alexblaze8878 So if he he was given a professional courtesy and let go and then killed your kid you would not be suing the Gilbert PD , well because he deserved to be let go?
I worked for Gilbert Police back in 1972 when Chief Sotomayer ran our 5-man police force back then. Cliff Beck was second officer in charge and the town was only 1 square mile then. I could you a lot of stories about that department LOL.
Arresting officers were professional throughout, even when drunk cop was belligerent, they’re paid to protect the community from all lawbreakers, even cops.
I have yet to meet a police officer that didn't think he was above the law...I know several that have been extended "professional courtesy" and followed home while driving drunk.
Quote: I've watched officers die, But yet he doesn't take into consideration that he could of killed someone. What an Idiot. But then there are many many cops that all stand together and lie for others when it goes to a court. look up Kelly Thomas !
Right, but letting these criminals with badges "retired' means they get to keep their pensions, no REAL justice, slap on the wrist with a wink from the judge..
Bobby Fletcher I agree with you. I was referring to the fact that they charged him period, and not let him get away with it. US justice system is fucked, so I see this as a win, though minor for the reason you stated. Things will be totally fair once everybody gets the same punishment for the same charges.
As my retired cop brother said for years, "We pick and choose what road laws we want to follow." To a point, they are above the law contrary to what they say publicly.
@Annie497 Yep, and i bet his relatives said the same thing because they really don't know, just like you really don't know.. All you know is what she tells you, you really have no clue what she does everyday.
No he won't. He was training under a Field Training Officer. Also, the cops are wearing bodycams. No longer can you cut a fellow officer a break. Bodycams ruined it for all alcoholic LEO.
Mesa PD. Nationally known for killing a crawling drunk person in his underwear, beating a non threatening bystander and slamming his head into an elevator door, and now one of its finest with a BAC above .30 driving with his drunken cop wife. Glad I don't live there anymore.

To be fair, his wife wasn't driving so there's no PC to arrest her or even investigate her. Does she have a drinking problem, I'm guessing she may but that's neither here nor there at this juncture. I doubt they gave her a sobriety test cause she wasn't driving. She, more than likely, called a friend or a cab for a ride home, slept it off and in the morning faced the hard truth of what was going to happen to her husband.
@@weltonvillegal6258 Do you live in Florida or do you not think there bad cops in all states that use the 'professional courtesy' excuse to try to get away with their crimes?
The fact that whether or not they would have arrested him even is in question speaks to where we are as a country in regards to law enforcement. We have serious, serious problems.
@@wendelldillard3758 - No it was the instructor who said the rookie would not let him go in front of him, so you fundamentally misunderstood who was who. But you are right that there are cops out there who would have let him go for sure, or at the very least help him get home or bring him to the station through the back (basically special treatment). Luckily as others have stated the body cams are fighting back against this immoral selective enforcement.
3 day in jail , 11 day house arrest, no preferential treatment there, Huh uh. If that had been anyone else, it would have been 6 months of pink under ware and green bologna, sleeping in a tent on a cot.
And "Big Bubba-Buford" the psychopathic career criminal & rapist/strangler looking at you with an evil smile wanting to do "what"? !!!!!!!!!!! Its disgustingly dark & evil !!!!!!!
Like from theProverbs, "the rich hath many friends, but the poor are despised by their own neighbors" !!!!! Yep poor ghetto folk are always fighting each other !!!!!!
it's much worse than that. During his 3 day stay at the jail, he only spent a few hours locked up before the "detention manager" released him from his cell and allowed him to chill in his office instead for 3 days. probably sat around watching netflix, surfing the web, and eating delivery.
drinking is not the only offense that cops want exception for, all types of traffic violations, beating civilians, lying, killing people, and the list goes on for items that cops feel they should not be held accountable for.
This is unfortunately a rare incident! Most crimes commited by law officials like this wouldn't even see the light of day! We are living in very unjust times and it's not getting better. It's unfortunate that those who are supposed to uphold the law are the very SAME people who get away with breaking the law AND are even responsible for unjustly ruining the lives of innocent people- which happens VERY often! According to a study released by the 'National Registry of Exonerations" that focused on the role police and prosecutors play in false witness tampering, violent interrogations and falsifying evidence, account for the MAJORITY of the misconduct that leads to WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS! An article published in "USA Today" said; "Researchers studied 2,400 convictions of defendants who were later found innocent over a 30-year period and found that 35% of these cases involved some type of MISCONDUCT OF POLICE, and more than half - 54% - involved MISCONDUCT OF POLICE AND PROSECUTORS"! That's pretty pathetic! (Sorry about this book I just wrote)
"Unbelievable" he says. What should have happened is me let loose, doesn't matter I was swerving on the road drunk as a skunk. He doesn't deserve respect.
0.306 is pretty impressive, when I checked into rehab I blew a 0.312. I was a minor celebrity until a guy checked in who died in the ambulance 3 times. That was 8 yrs ago and I haven't had a drop of the poison since.
Frank no gun laws and Arizona are you joking ? Of course Arizona has gun laws. Albeit they are the least restrictive in the country but of course they have gun laws ... that’s why a minor or felon cannot walk into a gun shop and buy a weapon.

My Nephew was a Cop in Sacramento and told me cops who are drunk and stopped usually get a ride home and all is covered up. He quit the force because of the corruption.
I was a Security Officer Sergeant Supervisor in a private security company being in security from 1984 to 2020 when I was medically retired after having been hit by an SUV while performing my duties. I was employed in Butte County, CA in Chico and surrounding areas on various assignments. Most of the officers that served with me quit because of illegal or unprofessional conduct on the part of the management of our company as well as others. The withdrawing of police support along with other political manipulation of the law enforcement-administration of justice system WOKE practices endangered us as did the corruption of the system. If I hadn't been medically retired, I would have retired when I was 66 at the first opportunity. THE SITUATION HAS NEVER BEEN AS BAD AS IT IS TODAY UNDER PRESIDENT BIDEN! VOTE MAGA, ELECT TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS!
@5:40 he has the nerve to tell another officer how to "treat him right" when HE HIMSELF acted like a criminal by driving drunk....im glad he retired...20 years of corruption is over
As a former LEO, I never allowed or would have allowed that kind of abuse against a person. In many cases, the "pigs" either use drugs, alcohol, steroids and/or take their personal issues (and anger) against a suspect. I would have done what the supervisor did, arrest the suspect!
three days? and 11 days home confinement? thats not even a slap on the wrist with a wet noodle! the judge and prosecutor in this case meed to be reprimanded and fired.

Nah, true alcoholics are hard to discern when they’ve been drinking. Their tolerance level is very high. Same thing with many drugs. My brother can smoke weed all day long and you’d never know he was high but I can take just two hits and be high as a kite.
@@alexblaze8878 That is not always the case, Alex. Your 'definition' of an alcoholic is clinically inaccurate. But make no mistake, Lt. Van Galder absolutely demonstrated a very high alcohol tolerance. A BAC of .306 is in the range of alcohol poisoning and the average person who is not a longtime, regular, heavy drinker, would likely be unconscious and in need of medical assistance at that level.
Yeah yeah, lots of things are crimes. Everyone gives professional courtesy to its members no matter the profession, stop acting so righteous about cops doing it.
Shane Yorgensen lol yup I’ve heard people like you saying the same thing before. And then you make a mistake or get accused of something and that whole tone changes real damn quick. One thing is for sure, if the government makes enough laws, you will break one sooner or later.
Alex Blaze professional courtesies? Do you really believe that’s ok when that courtesy can destroy someone’s life? We’re not talking about getting a break on getting a roof installed. We’re talking about cops getting away with lying and judges backing them up. These people are beating people, stealing their rights from them, and destroying their lives, and you act like it’s nothing but a normal way of doing business. Your a fuked up person, and I hope you or your family gets a taste of some professional courtesy.
They should have terminated him. And he should not be allowed to be a police officer anymore and anywhere! If he is drinking and driving, hie driver's license should be suspended for 5 years!

Lieutenant Rick Van Galder from the Mesa Police is in a position of leadership witch means he suppose to set an example for the officers in his department. Lt. Rick Van Galder failed to up hold the standards and the policy of the Mesa Police Department so any deviation from that is insubordination it doesn't serve the profession it doesn't serve the officer witch encourages Lt. Van Galder to repeat the same act so he becomes a liability to the department. Officer Dominguez did the right thing by arresting Lt. Van Galder Officer Dominguez is protecting his job and his pension especially when you have a camera in the patrol car. Officers in this generation can not get it through their thick heads that the job is not a career any more they run it like a business it's all about liability.

And his training officer is pure gold
Possession of a firearm while under the influence of a mind altering substance and operating a vehicle. 3 criminal charges in one click.
And his homicide detective wife in the car and drunk too. Wow
Only if it is you or me.
That's actually two charges.
The worst offence is having his wife drunk with him...
And he got 3 days in jail and a couple weeks of house arrest. What do you think your plea deal would look like?
That rookie officer is a credit to the uniform!
He has not had time to become corrupt. YET.
@Dawuud Lyons tbh I don't know. I hope he wouldn't have😕
@@vincentcommons9042 I think that he would *always* be thinking of that day as a rookie and probably has it seared in his brain that even a Lieutenant cannot get away with this when he's honestly caught and dealt with according to the law, and therefore he himself would not want to go down that path of arrogance. Just my thoughts.
Mesa police department is corrupt, proven fact , that rookie cop & his instructor will have to watch their backs bad cops don’t like good cops to rat on them
@@fordkenisaacs6425 especially in the US
Just imagine how many people he’d arrested for DUI, and given the same reason for cuffing them, Hypocrite!
He never arrested anybody for DUI. HE took them home or let them walk. Good guy.
@@jaysantos536 Didn't you mean to say he took their alcohol home?
NOW HE HAVE A RECORD LIKE ALL OF HIS ARRESTEES! GOOD!!!!!!!!
Mesa cops are above the law. This is the same department that murdered an unarmed man who was crawling on the floor, begging for his life.
That was horrible ... horrible.
Don Mcc couldn’t have said it better I lived there for three years they are evilllll cops they make me really wonder about this world
Yes, from what I saw in the video they set Daniel Shaver up to murder him.
And the cop works for a steel company on Bethany Home Ave now. It Glendale Arizona
Sad thing is, it's not just MESA cops. It is Cops, throughout the country, and a National Problem, every -town USA.
I wonder how many innocent people he railroaded during his career.
Yes his attitude betrays him, along with his blood alcohol level.
Should have asked him while he was drunk. He would have told it all.
No doubt
Paul Williams my thoughts exactly, when i see a cop getting shot and everyone gets upset and as well they should but i know from experience in my life ,how many lives has this guy ruined by filing false and or misleading police reports
Railroaded, the guys clearly a god damned rapist and murderer.
answer to "I am retiring tomorrow" sir you may be retiring tomorrow but today you are going to jail for dui.
You may be retiring tomorrow. But you will be fired today.
Should've retired yesterday!
Yes sir
It's nice to see when a police officer does the right thing. Thanks!
It's a shame that it's "nice to see," rather than "expected and required."
Officer Dominguez did the right thing.
I’m so proud of the officer that did the right thing and arrested the lieutenant. I’m sure it wasn’t easy to arrest an officer above him...especially as a new police officer...but this was absolutely the right thing to do. Cops should be held to the same laws they expect the citizens they police to follow and the officer driving drunk should be grateful he was stopped before either hurting or killing an innocent person
No Lindsay. Police should be held to a higher standard. They have been trained. Educated and have seen what happens when you drink and drive. Good bless the honest police.
Can you imagine if shoe was on the other foot.jail him.
The fact that anyone would be proud of an officer for doing what is expected of them is very telling
@@mjdamato I don’t know, that would b one of the hardest jobs…to see, death, violence, and get yelled at and abused on a regular basis. I can’t stand officers who abuse their power. Nothing to me is more infuriating so when I c one doing his job right it’s refreshing
Kinda like when your child gets that really good teacher that goes out of her way to make sure your child succeeds. You know when your child has a teacher that is in it for the right reasons. Also, I job I could NEVER do so when it’s done right it’s relieving
That's NOT his first time driving wasted. His tollerance level is pretty damn high.
There’s another cop DUI video where the officer has the same BAC and yeah, it’s startling that level of tolerance
wow ELEVEN WHOLE DAYS AT HOME. what a horrible sentence.
meanwhile a 16-year-old with an ounce of pot goes to prison for 10 years. yeah no they totally didn't bend the rules for him at all.
We hate the hypocrisy as well brother! Let's all speak up and speak out!
Resist the police state .
It's Mesq Police what do you expect.
Good point.
When did THAT ever happen?
As a retired police officer, I commend this rookie officer for doing the right thing. Having been a police officer, I can attest to the pressure put on an officer to grant professional courtesy. Often when an officer chooses to not grant professional courtesy, they will be labeled as someone who isn't a team player. The pressure is tremendous! Kudos to this young officer. He is destined to have a stellar career.
If he is still with the department. What do you think the public thinks about officer integrity after reading your post regarding peer pressures on extending professional courtesy?
@@shadowgarr7649 I would certainly hope they would reserve judgement and not put every officer in the same box, because they aren't. I still believe most officers are professional and well-meaning people and I would hope that most are honest. However, I understand the public losing confidence in officer integrity because of professional courtesy. Again, I will say the pressure to grant professional courtesy can be tremendous. When incidents happen such as we see in this video, the public cannot be faulted for second-guessing and questioning officer actions.
It amazes me that a retired LEO believes this rookie will have a 'stellar career'. Are you being sarcastic? It often doesn't come through in text. This rookie, by not giving the drunk driving cop preferential treatment, made himself many enemies among law enforcement. The Blue Code and the criminals in uniform who honor it do not tolerate cops who don't. They're driven out of the job in one way or another, even out of the profession. Odds are this rookie's just behavior will haunt him as long as he's in LE.
And this is an internal affairs vet who is supposed to police the police!!! What a high standard he is setting. Disgraceful.
Never trust anyone tasked with investigating themselves... The police are a deadly joke...
Alex Tomlins A bigger joke is Pigs "investigating" other Pigs.
Absolutely it's a disgrace!
It's ALL just smoke and mirrors.
If the drunk lieutenant's self-entitlement is any indication, I'm sure all of his internal affairs investigations had the same conclusion and recommendation: Conclusion - Use of force was justified. Recommendation - Officer should be reinstated to active duty.
And they wonder why we have NO RESPECT FOR THEM AND THEIR UNIONS
Total respect for the officers who did their job.
Candice really struggles with reading comprehension. Sad.
Yep I respect those cops for there decision what's right is right hope it continues...And sets an example for others
There is accountability for police, and no these things don't always disappear. You only hear about the cases that spin out of control on the news, not what happens on a daily basis. You are literally judging police based on 0 empirical evidence @Alex von Kessler
Your 1st sentence is an unfair generalization and mischaracterisation. No respect... FOR BAD COPS AND THOSE WHO PROTECT THEM. Penalties for cops who commit crimes should be more severe not less severe.
@Godzillaaaaa11 Exactly positive interactions happen 24/7 that goes unnoticed what you see on the news is not what police do on a daily basis
A law that is not enforced equally is no law at all!
True. Hmm. Let me guess, the law is flexible. Now we know the the word flexible simply means reprobate.
Amen, amen, I say to you! Yet most of society has no problem at all enforcing laws selectively and unequally. Indeed Martin Luther King should have included your comment in his Letter From a Birmingham Jail. I'd like to see a society in which both the arrester and arrestee submit reports of what happened. If indeed a cop is not a superior being to other humans, then there is no reason the cop should have the sole and categorical say in the matter. If they are honest, body cameras should not be a problem.
The only reasons they didn't let him go, was because the young guy was training and the camera was rolling. This does NOT go down this way very often. Cops almost never hold one another accountable for anything
I would say that's a privilege or possibly a leg up but definitely not a f****** law
@@kenjjjjjjmmmm that's what I'm talkin about Ken somebody who is informed and someone who is knowledgeable and someone who can deliver that which is written in perfect context.
That makes me sick him thinking he was somehow above the law. Thanks to whoever called him in & which ever policeman that was there plus whoever was on the case we may live to see another day that could have been taking away from Somebody because of people like that.
If your BAC is .306 and its still daylight outside, your an alcoholic!
Good point.
If it's dark outside, it's still the same.

Great job by the training officer. Thank you for honesty and the quality of your character, sir. You family must be proud of who you are. Great to see honest police officers doing their job.
Agreed. Too bad his future in law enforcement will be rocky at best, and will be ran off to another district, unfortunately.
Who was the pig saying “ he will not arrest you in front of me” ?
@@enesnyc1662 The training officer actually said
"He's not gonna "not arrest" you in front of me".
Replay at half speed. Or turn on closed-captions and freeze it at at 3:40 .
What he means is that the arrest is going down.
@Susan Sullivan Of the two I've known personally one was running a kickback scheme with towing companies and using police authority to keep anybody who objected in line - as well as to harass the regional utility company in dispute regarding his rental properties. Openly. Bragged about it to me. The other was a white supremacist, failed marine, and a notorious hothead. His local claim to fame was shooting a guy in the butt while the guy charging at him while brandishing a weapon that was actually in a dumpster a hundred feet away.
Respect is earned it is not a privilage. He is now down to the mere mortal like all of us that he started out as thanks to an officer that respects the uniform he wears and displays that respect by honouring his commitment to serve the people.
he should be sentenced to twice the punishment. He's a cop & should be held to a higher standard.
That's a real good idea. Cops get double penalties civilians get for violating trust. Think the cop unions will go for that?? Didn't think so.
same standard's that r expected of us
EuropeOn2Wheels, in that case cops unions need to be dealt with. These guys aren't there to be driving around giving out smiles, they are out there to uphold the law. Unfortunately, lots of them don't know the law, so why are they still employed? Lots of them know the law and decide to break it(this video), so since they have a higher authority than an average citizen it's only logical they get a higher punishment.
Chris Meadows
Ya , they should have gang enhancement's added to the DUI . O and pizza wife barfing on her self. Yum ,yum, She is classyyy
thedonleroy without a doubt
Profesional courtesy is just a so-called sophisticated way of outright breaking the law. The cop breaking the law as well as the cop covering for him should be arrested and tried for obstructing to say the least.
Agreed, people entrusted to enforce the law should be held to the highest of standards. Not the lowest.
@@timthayer6419 over here in the uk, when someone like that and politians, say its an error of judement, coz as you know that sounds better than a crimianal offence, scumbags most of them
Obstructing? Please, no legal comments from shade tree lawyers or shade tree police officers.
I'll bet it wasn't Dan first drunk driving just the first time he was caught.
Probably not even the first time he was caught in 20 or so years, just the first time he was held accountable. Probably still retire with a pension 3x ours.
Should let the wife drive. Wait she was drunk like a skunk 2.
No not the first time caught but the first time arrested and brought to the public's attention and knowledge!
No doubt and I'll bet the rolling camera has a lot to do with him getting arrested. No way he gets arrested if there weren't cameras. The fact that there were 2 cops one being a rookie might have made the superior cop do what he did but you never know, he could just be a "good cop." I love the smug look on Dan's face when the cops came up to his car. He was like are you kidding me? Let me just show my badge and be on my way. At 3:51 - "Unbelievable" Dan says like he's being treated unfairly. I hate the double standard.
His brother, who is a cop, was arrested for DUI.
Cops love to lecture civilians but this is funny, he's getting a dose of his own medicine.
And he hates it cause he feels he's above the law both because he's a cop and because he's a high-ranking cop

@Robert Day more than one police officer was involved in the arrest. Nice try
@Clifton Terrell yes
@corona Bery I'm ok with being arrested for DUI. Cause I don't do that.
Cops should be held to a higher standard. i would have gone so far as to have him fired making his pension void and brought up on charges.
I think authorities should be held to a higher standard, not be given “professional courtesy”. After 20 years on the job, you don’t know that you shouldn’t drink and drive? Why should you get away with it when other people don’t?
How many people did he bust for DUI or let go! the arresting officers just saved lives!!
💯
My thoughts exactly. In fact, not only do we know but we’ve SEEN the consequences of drunk driving. If you ask me, that should be written into the statute as an aggravating factor for enhanced sentencing.

The Mesa Police Department is still a disgusting pit of corruption.
Absolutely! But Ill tell you this Tucson Police Dept is just as bad if not worse. I can't understand how they can think we should trust them. They give us reasons on a daily basis NOT to trust them ever.
Daniel Shaver would agree, but he's not available for comment.
The court actions were in Gilbert
Man these police officers are totally corrupt everywhere and every time they're getting caught beating up people killing people attacking people for no reason
If you think this is a localized issue you're dead wrong. It's a flawed human issue. The only way the senseless violence will ever end is to stop giving the average man or woman "authority" to assault or murder their fellow human.
100% Bullshit, a slap on the wrist. No citizen would have been let go if they had a blood draw of .300. Hundreds of dollars in fines, loss of driving privileges and jail.
I think you meant to say, "Thousands" of dollars in fines and legal fees!
The fine alone in AZ for that level of dui is $6,000. Add court costs, home monitoring equip rental, vehicle breathalyzer rental, mandatory vehicle impound of 30 days in AZ and attorney fees and he's probably in for $18-$25k
Exactly Tom Leicht. My son is currently being raked over the coals for a .06 in Michigan where the legal limit is .08. He has had to breathalyze AND drug test every day since the arrest at his own expense. Was tricked into pleading guilty by his court appointed attorney (he told him it was something else. Yes he should have read it but he was still making the mistake that if he cooperated things would go better for him). He's a single father who drives for a living, when the system is done with him he'll lose his job, house and probably his son. And of course his judge was arrested for a .13 in 2006 and got only 6 moths probation.
Shannon Calleja plea Bargin is a scam,.

The “RULES FOR THEE BUT NOT ME “ didn’t work this time ! Good job 👍🏻
At .30 blood alcohol levels, he has built up a tolerance to alcohol that suggests he is most likely alcoholic, and drinks to excess on a regular basis.
Yep
I thought I was a drinker back when I was a kid and blew a .26 and fell out of the car....so yeah he MUST be an alcoholic...from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠
He probably drinks "on the job," too!
bill ding A long time ago I was interning at a small police department in Michigan. One day we had a guy brought in and his reading was an astounding .37. This resulted in not only an arrest bout a hospital stay for a few days. Not sure what the final outcome was. The more scary part of the story is that he had his wife and kids in the car, and his wife was pretty drunk too.
Here in Colorado there was a cop so drunk he was on the I-25 highway shoulder passed out. It took other cops to remove him from the cruiser.
This activity is not unique.
Congratulations Officer Dominguez. Thank you for doing your job and keeping drunk drivers (no matter who they are) off the road. You are to be commended.
He was fired shortly after this incident.
All this did. Be a hero. Learn how to job now. Rookie cop.this all b..s... A fake lie. Police don't. At fight. At substations. They pull there guns on each other. So what u think. He didn't do to that rookie cop.a monitor. To stop. From retaliation
It's extremely refreshing seeing good cops with good ethics and morale
Good on that cop who arrested him. You’re going to be a good one, sir! Don’t let those already corrupted corrupt you! You are making citizens proud! And if there are any decency in your profession, they should be proud of you as well....
Good observation on ' decency' within the police profession.
Appears to be in short supply.
Well said man, well said.
Slow your roll. If there were no bodycams and dashcams, nobody would have EVER known about this. One of the other officers would have given him a ride home. In the grand scheme of things, like, so what? Not like he broke a minor's nose with his elbow or something.
A private citizen would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law so should a cop.
If that happened in Dearborn County Indiana, the arresting officer would have been deported. If the drunk officer had more pull than the Hispanic officer.
imagine that a cop being held to the same standard as EVERYONE else!! Good for you guys! YOU are GOOD cops! Equal justice.
What "EVERYONE" gets 11 days at home arrest? And gets to keep their pension ? with no repercussions? What "EVERYONE" gets treated so honorably as this guy was? One step away from killing innocent people, and if he ran over a vagrant, would probably get off scott free.. We don't know the real actions that were carried out against this drunk even if the arresting officers took it that far, a judge, with a wink and a handshake could wash away the entire incident, that wouldn't happen to an average "Joe". As the Doctor testified, he showed signs that this was not his first rodeo with a bottle and I would be totally surprised if we don't see an other arrest video with the same drunk, of course an 80% chance the next officer will bow down to his thin Blue line crap and it will continue until someone of standing gets crashed into or killed by a retired drunk ex-cop.
Please if it weren’t for them having to wear body cameras they for damn sure give him professional courtesy.
This guy is a legend in his own mind.
legend in his own lunchtime !
Now these are the officers are the ones that gotta go.Not the ones who serve an protect !
This was the right thing to do he was drunk.
Like your not
Haha.
"He's not going to not, arrest you in front of me"....I LOVE IT!!!
Some People understood it wrong ( I did ) because we all expect cops to protect each other and not report it !!!
Only a career alcoholic can be 4Xs the legal limit and still function.
chefdsal1 you gotta respect that 🍺
Probable this cop has been "drunk" umteen times before & got away with it, but it catches up with you sooner or later, you reap what you sow !!!!!!
chefdsal1 I'll vouch for that!!
chefdsal1 Takes a lot of practice hahahaha
We gotta take away everyone's alcohol and firearms because of this guy.
Thank you officer and I hope this officer that is retiring, finds help.please get help...
I worked for a contractor who was a retired cop for the city of Duluth, MN. He was pulled over 3 times in one day for speeding and received 0 tickets. They watch their own, and have zero respect for the laws they enforce on other people
facts !!!
Profesional courtesy.
To believe in the myth that some are, most cops shld be oerfect? Is to deny them their himanity.
The whole AA deal? Is abt hoing thru recovery at your speed. Never save an alcoholic from a dusaster, never create a disaster for an alcoholic. They will often abuse holy geck out of certain ppl they have chosen to save them...
A private citizen in possession of a legally owned gun while drunk, would have his/her gun and permit taken a way.
I saw a video where a cop pulled a car over for speeding 2 miles over the limit and the passenger called a cop a "Joke" and The cop pulled him out of the car and had his gun license revoked for a year saying the guys wife was scared of the husband... total lie!!
This private citizen wouldn’t live in a state that thinks it’s OK to extort money from its citizens for a license to exercise a constitutional right.
Typical double standard
That some cops, such as Van Galder, display
When an officer stops a drunk driver,that's one more life he saved either way!!
If that were a regular citizen. They would have been cussed and possibly beaten.. but he thinks he was mistreated over handcuffs in the back instead of the front
ya cops are pigs
Blue privilege
@free air, you should have said "concussed" as in concussion, instead of "cussed!" Seriously though, you're right. Any of us "free citizens," would definitely have been beaten, accused of resisting arrest, etc. when pulled over! PD'S around the country are NOT conducting proper psychological exams on their employees before hiring them. Or worse yet, they are, and hiring them specifically because they're deranged!
Give it a break with “regular citizens would’ve been beaten” cry. Instance like those do happen, I’m not saying they don’t but the likelihood of that occurring is so rare given how many people are arrested every year. Just because there are some videos that show citizens getting needlessly assaulted by LEO it hardly makes it the majority.
Holy crap. You're insane if you honestly believe that given the same circumstances that a non police dui suspect would have been beaten. There are just as many or more videos of belligerent suspects being treated with respect when it isn't even deserved than there are of people being mistreated by police. Even when the goal of today's victim mentality is to do everything they can to incite cops to treat them badly. I'm getting tired of the whole charade people like you espouse
_Professional courtesy should be a felony_
J. Carlos it is. Sadly they dont treat it as one
Lol ur an idiot if u think EVERY profession doesn’t give its fellow employees professional courtesy. Cops are no different. They put their lives on the line every day, if there’s one profession that fellow courtesy should be allowed, it’s law enforcement.
I bet you’ve gotten professional courtesy in YOUR line of work.
divorcedme okay I’ll give you a personal example.
I used to be a dental hygienist and routinely did root planing (a procedure done to smooth out roots to help the tissue reattach following years of periodontal disease (gum disease). Although there are many minor cases of professional courtesy I gave to fellow hygienists and dentists, one case stands out in particular. A new patient I’m seeing for the first time had undergone a series of scaling and root planing by a hygienist located in the same city as our office about 6 months before. Patients with periodontal disease get check ups every 3-6 months.
I’m using an explorer instrument to check her for new or remaining calculus (tarter) and discover she has a large deposit on the backside of her lower right second molar. This tooth surface is notoriously difficult for hygienist due to its location-especially with patients with bone loss.
After working on that one tiny area for about 30 minutes, I was finally able to remove a piece of calculus that had been missed by her previous hygienist. Looking back at the patient’s x-rays over the previous years I realized that the calculus was right there on the x-rays dating back 5 years but had been mistaken for an oddity in root anatomy that some patients do have. Had the previous hygienist used a manual explorer and had she been skilled enough, she’d have identified it years earlier which would have aided in the reduction of disease in that area.
Instead of telling the patient that her previous hygienist had failed her, I simply told her that “it’s a very difficult area for hygienists to get to and it’s not uncommon for that area to be missed”
What I had told her was mostly true but what I didn’t tell her was that her hygienist had been negligent. She had seen this patient 20-30 times over the previous 5 years and missed that spot every time whereas I had discovered it 5 minutes into our very first appointment.
So I called the hygienist later that day and discussed this patient and what I had discovered and corrected. I then recommended a specialty scaler she could purchase to help her in detecting hidden calculus below the gum line in that area. I also recommended an advanced course I had taken which I thought might improve her skills.
Had I told the patient her previous hygienist had been negligent, she’d have probably filed a complaint with the State Licensing board.
No, no one’s life was at risk but I clearly did give that hygienist professional courtesy and probably saved her from having a formal complaint sitting in her licensing file at the state level.
This happens ALL the time in dentistry and medicine. Some things we definitely do report but minor ones like the example I gave we tend to handle it privately amongst ourselves.
divorcedme my brother is a commercial and residential painter. A painted house (as opposed to one with say vinyl siding) usually requires painting every 5 years or so. He routinely is hired by upscale residential homeowners and sees evidence of neglect in prior painters work on these homes. Example: it’s obvious to him that a previous painter charged the home owner for very expensive paint but used a paint much cheaper and pocketed the difference. Rather than tell the homeowner what he discovered, he simply uses the actual high end paint the homeowner wants and remains silent.
Word gets around in this town and were my brother to be known as a painter that rats out other painters...well let’s just say it’s a cut throat industry and my brother would rather not make enemies.
Another example of professional courtesy that my brother probably extends at least 10 times a year or more.
It’s like this in nearly EVERY industry you can name. Is it ethical? Maybe not but failing to extend these courtesies can make ones life in a given occupation very difficult. Law Enforcement is no different.
@@alexblaze8878
So if he he was given a professional courtesy and let go and then killed your kid you would not be suing the Gilbert PD , well because he deserved to be let go?
He should lose his gun licence for having one beer while in possession of a weapon. A drunk person with a gun is a no no.
I worked for Gilbert Police back in 1972 when Chief Sotomayer ran our 5-man police force back then. Cliff Beck was second officer in charge and the town was only 1 square mile then. I could you a lot of stories about that department LOL.
Arresting officers were professional throughout, even when drunk cop was belligerent, they’re paid to protect the community from all lawbreakers, even cops.
I love how they don't answer question but demand the civilian to answer their questions
Which of the LTs questions should they have answered?
You don’t get that way in one day. He’s been drunk driving his whole career. And they’re partiers.
I have yet to meet a police officer that didn't think he was above the law...I know several that have been extended "professional courtesy" and followed home while driving drunk.
"I'm retiring tomorrow"
no, no, no
You are retired TODAY!
The guy needs to lose his license, like yesterday.
Quote: I've watched officers die, But yet he doesn't take into consideration that he could of killed someone. What an Idiot. But then there are many many cops that all stand together and lie for others when it goes to a court. look up Kelly Thomas !
Right, but letting these criminals with badges "retired' means they get to keep their pensions, no REAL justice, slap on the wrist with a wink from the judge..
why give him a pension? look hard into his past - not his first drunk.
And you wonder why we wan't to kill these pigs ourselves??????
I'm glad they held him accountable. That's why it's so important to always have body cameras. Or filming the police in general.
Bobby Fletcher I agree with you. I was referring to the fact that they charged him period, and not let him get away with it. US justice system is fucked, so I see this as a win, though minor for the reason you stated. Things will be totally fair once everybody gets the same punishment for the same charges.
The hacks gave him the run of the jail even letting him into restricted areas
As my retired cop brother said for years, "We pick and choose what road laws we want to follow." To a point, they are above the law contrary to what they say publicly.
@Annie497 Yep, and i bet his relatives said the same thing because they really don't know, just like you really don't know.. All you know is what she tells you, you really have no clue what she does everyday.
Ofc Saladen lit the Mesa City PD on fire with that stellar career comeback.

No he won't. He was training under a Field Training Officer. Also, the cops are wearing bodycams. No longer can you cut a fellow officer a break. Bodycams ruined it for all alcoholic LEO.

Absolutely.
To be fair, his wife wasn't driving so there's no PC to arrest her or even investigate her. Does she have a drinking problem, I'm guessing she may but that's neither here nor there at this juncture. I doubt they gave her a sobriety test cause she wasn't driving. She, more than likely, called a friend or a cab for a ride home, slept it off and in the morning faced the hard truth of what was going to happen to her husband.

The fact that whether or not they would have arrested him even is in question speaks to where we are as a country in regards to law enforcement. We have serious, serious problems.
Same cops will let him go but lock up people for disrespect
Facts
The "cops" involved did what is right but yet you disrespect them. What is your real problem?
@@jerrygilbert7659 they were going to let him go if the rookie didn't speak up
Those days are over with body cams.....no more free rides for anybody........not even family
@@wendelldillard3758 - No it was the instructor who said the rookie would not let him go in front of him, so you fundamentally misunderstood who was who. But you are right that there are cops out there who would have let him go for sure, or at the very least help him get home or bring him to the station through the back (basically special treatment). Luckily as others have stated the body cams are fighting back against this immoral selective enforcement.
3 day in jail , 11 day house arrest, no preferential treatment there, Huh uh. If that had been anyone else, it would have been 6 months of pink under ware and green bologna, sleeping in a tent on a cot.
NO Maricopa justice for this tool? That's a tough county! The DA should be reprimanded.
And "Big Bubba-Buford" the psychopathic career criminal & rapist/strangler looking at you with an evil smile wanting to do "what"? !!!!!!!!!!! Its disgustingly dark & evil !!!!!!!
Like from theProverbs, "the rich hath many friends, but the poor are despised by their own neighbors" !!!!! Yep poor ghetto folk are always fighting each other !!!!!!
it's much worse than that. During his 3 day stay at the jail, he only spent a few hours locked up before the "detention manager" released him from his cell and allowed him to chill in his office instead for 3 days. probably sat around watching netflix, surfing the web, and eating delivery.
This cop is a alcoholic-socio-psychopath & i would not trust him in any type of police work !!!!!
drinking is not the only offense that cops want exception for, all types of traffic violations, beating civilians, lying, killing people, and the list goes on for items that cops feel they should not be held accountable for.
Not all
Taking steroids and drugs then they cry about human rights when it was suggested cops are drug tested.
Terrie Cotham Where did he say all? Doesn’t it go without saying that it isn’t all police?
This is unfortunately a rare incident! Most crimes commited by law officials like this wouldn't even see the light of day! We are living in very unjust times and it's not getting better. It's unfortunate that those who are supposed to uphold the law are the very SAME people who get away with breaking the law AND are even responsible for unjustly ruining the lives of innocent people- which happens VERY often! According to a study released by the 'National Registry of Exonerations" that focused on the role police and prosecutors play in false witness tampering, violent interrogations and falsifying evidence, account for the MAJORITY of the misconduct that leads to WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS! An article published in "USA Today" said; "Researchers studied 2,400 convictions of defendants who were later found innocent over a 30-year period and found that 35% of these cases involved some type of MISCONDUCT OF POLICE, and more than half - 54% - involved MISCONDUCT OF POLICE AND PROSECUTORS"! That's pretty pathetic! (Sorry about this book I just wrote)
"Unbelievable" he says. What should have happened is me let loose, doesn't matter
I was swerving on the road drunk as a skunk. He doesn't deserve respect.
Well done,cops are not above the law!!!
CDNvaper He got very special treatment after the arrest however
@@sugaredwards6207 The judge was as big of a disgrace as the drunk lieutenant. (If not, worse.)
0.306 is pretty impressive, when I checked into rehab I blew a 0.312. I was a minor celebrity until a guy checked in who died in the ambulance 3 times. That was 8 yrs ago and I haven't had a drop of the poison since.
❤❤❤❤
God bless you. You're saved !
It's great to see the accountability. If that LT had watched a few more audit videos, he'd have known to keep quiet.
What about carrying a loaded weapon while drunk? Pretty sure that's a crime too.
SO,carrying a concealed,loaded ,weapon in a moving vehicle,while intoxicated is allowed in Arizona now??
There are no gun laws in Arizona
"Pretty sure thats illegal" a sentence thats never uttered by someone who knows the law, ever.
Frank no gun laws and Arizona are you joking ? Of course Arizona has gun laws. Albeit they are the least restrictive in the country but of course they have gun laws ... that’s why a minor or felon cannot walk into a gun shop and buy a weapon.
Like they said "other charges were dropped" a civi would have gotten ten per bullet on a aggravated charge.
A Super Extreme DUI result,should have earned him a Super Extreme sentence !!! Not a token slap on the wrist 3 day sentence !
Obviously the D.A. is part of "The old pals fraternity".Who knows, maybe he was shown "professional courtesy" sometime in the past.
Dave M
And they’ll let him retire with a full pension.
Not if it was a first offence.
@@charlesmurphy1510
They also dropped felony possession of a firearm while under the influence...
3 days for a dui and felony possession of a firearm? You think you'd get the same plea deal?
False Prophet I agree with you the sentence was far to lenient but “super extreme” for a first offence without knowing all the facts is a bit harsh.
@@charlesmurphy1510
He had a .3 BAC... thats nearly 4x the legal limit. Its amazing he didn't kill anyone..
What do you think your plea deal will look like when you get pulled over with a .3 BAC and a firearm on you? Assume its your first offence. You'd be looking at years in prison, not a couple weeks on house arrest.
The DA that offered the deal is corrupt.
He's pulling all the cards.
Give him his orange suit!
My Nephew was a Cop in Sacramento and told me cops who are drunk and stopped usually get a ride home and all is covered up. He quit the force because of the corruption.
I was a Security Officer Sergeant Supervisor in a private security company being in security from 1984 to 2020 when I was medically retired after having been hit by an SUV while performing my duties. I was employed in Butte County, CA in Chico and surrounding areas on various assignments. Most of the officers that served with me quit because of illegal or unprofessional conduct on the part of the management of our company as well as others. The withdrawing of police support along with other political manipulation of the law enforcement-administration of justice system WOKE practices endangered us as did the corruption of the system. If I hadn't been medically retired, I would have retired when I was 66 at the first opportunity. THE SITUATION HAS NEVER BEEN AS BAD AS IT IS TODAY UNDER PRESIDENT BIDEN! VOTE MAGA, ELECT TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS!
@5:40 he has the nerve to tell another officer how to "treat him right" when HE HIMSELF acted like a criminal by driving drunk....im glad he retired...20 years of corruption is over
Actually they could have cuffed him up front. But the officer was in training. He's gonna go by the book.
Now he's got his neighbors to bully
I'M SO VERY PROUD OF THE OFFICER DOING A GOOD JOB. 👍
As a former LEO, I never allowed or would have allowed that kind of abuse against a person. In many cases, the "pigs" either use drugs, alcohol, steroids and/or take their personal issues (and anger) against a suspect. I would have done what the supervisor did, arrest the suspect!
The mentality of I'm a cop I have leeway is how serving and protecting goes straight out the window
three days? and 11 days home confinement? thats not even a slap on the wrist with a wet noodle! the judge and prosecutor in this case meed to be reprimanded and fired.
Here's your professional courtesy: I'm going to lower the voltage on the taser a little bit.
At least this young man is being trained properly
In Pueblo West Colorado a young man mistook someone elses car for his mothers. Deputies were called. Within 2 minutes after deputies arrived the UNARMED man lay twitching on the ground as he died. The deputy got off. And he got a medal as well.
Policeman are always surprised when they get the same treatment that the common citizen
Surprised because it rarely happens.
YEH NOT NICE IS IT LOL
@@FallenAngel53 now that’s underrated👍😂.
Surprised and ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIED !
He got less than a citizen gets.
Wow Wow About time ..kinda brings back a little faith in our justice .Never thought I would say this "good job officer"
Even the retired cop, the teacher, got it wrong..."it doesn't serve the cop....it didn't serve the city" sorry these people, cops, are not there to serve each other but to serve the community they were hired by...all cops are civil servants none are our overlords....
lahokc59. I need not convince the cops of anything, the S. court has already done that and if the lower courts do not follow those ruling to protect the people from these animals the people many feel the need to protect themselves. Cops are civil servants...NOT our overlords....
The M County DA holds the final card.
I don"t understand why he was allowed to put his hands in his pockets when others would"ve got shot.
"Consequences for officers" is so rare it makes the news when it happens! That rookie and the others did the right thing. A miracle!
He admitted to having gang tattoos
The public needs to know that law enforcement agencies condone and promote bad behavior by their personnel while in uniform and on duty. Tucson/Marana, AZ
hillary for prison!
The only thing Trump did wrong was have the audacity to defeat Hillary. Everything else has been a lie to try and remove a legally elected president. After all of the criminal activity by Hillary, only criminals or fools will support her.
Exactly my sister is a 911 dispatch and she drives drunk all the time and says we're the cops what can they do
Marcia: ( Another case of extreme TDS) Since it has been proven that both Clintons went to "Pedophile Island" multiple times, I assume you will be happy if they are convicted and sent to prison where they belong. Please refer to my other response.
He was still given preferential treatment because he got released the same day in the same drunken condition! Usually they keep you until you see the judge!
He's an alcoholic and for anyone else they would be passed out.
Nah, true alcoholics are hard to discern when they’ve been drinking. Their tolerance level is very high.
Same thing with many drugs. My brother can smoke weed all day long and you’d never know he was high but I can take just two hits and be high as a kite.
@@alexblaze8878 That is not always the case, Alex. Your 'definition' of an alcoholic is clinically inaccurate. But make no mistake, Lt. Van Galder absolutely demonstrated a very high alcohol tolerance. A BAC of .306 is in the range of alcohol poisoning and the average person who is not a longtime, regular, heavy drinker, would likely be unconscious and in need of medical assistance at that level.
Heather H no that is not ALWAYS the case but it is largely true,
Yup! I know from that personally. 7 yrs 4 mo sober me. I could drink a man, (But not some women) under the table! Lol!
@@heatherh5450 I'm in AA a very long time. His "definition" was spot on.
We are all sovereign. Once we brake the law we immediately became subject matter.
Drunk driving is a crime.
Yeah yeah, lots of things are crimes. Everyone gives professional courtesy to its members no matter the profession, stop acting so righteous about cops doing it.
"He's not gonna not arrest you in front of me".... that's what I'm talking about.
When a cop let's another cop go out of "professional curtesy" , they become criminals. What percent of all the cops in the country are criminal?
The “THIN BLUE LINE IN ACTION”. Two sets of laws, they ruin ur life, but they get Professional Curtiousy
Shane Yorgensen lol yup I’ve heard people like you saying the same thing before. And then you make a mistake or get accused of something and that whole tone changes real damn quick. One thing is for sure, if the government makes enough laws, you will break one sooner or later.
EVERY profession gives professional courtesy, stop acting shocked that cops do it too.
Alex Blaze professional courtesies? Do you really believe that’s ok when that courtesy can destroy someone’s life? We’re not talking about getting a break on getting a roof installed. We’re talking about cops getting away with lying and judges backing them up. These people are beating people, stealing their rights from them, and destroying their lives, and you act like it’s nothing but a normal way of doing business. Your a fuked up person, and I hope you or your family gets a taste of some professional courtesy.
vinmatrix76 how is it “destroying someone’s life” to give a fellow officer professional courtesy? I don’t se the causation.
Alex Blaze because when a cop gets special treatment it’s almost always at the expense of other people’s lives.
Thanks for getting him off the road, you probably saved a life or two.
This is unreal..........im speechless wow. I was blown away when his wife was intoxicated in the car as well and also a cop.
She was a passenger and could be legally intoxicated. No issue, there. Him on the other hand...
A couple of rummies!
Most cops I've personally known are addicts of some sort
They should have terminated him. And he should not be allowed to be a police officer anymore and anywhere! If he is drinking and driving, hie driver's license should be suspended for 5 years!
Criminals with a badge
Criminals is more accurate!
alan harvey If you drop the 's' I would agree.. criminal with a badge... the cop and the trainer did their jobs by arresting the drunkard. I love the part where he begs them to cuff him in the front...he got a taste of his own medicine!!!! Lmao
Duane Garbutt .... agreed

Ronnie Boucher that and a low IQ
@@OneZombieKiller I am not surprised, and thank you for the link! These cops are rabid
Lieutenant Rick Van Galder from the Mesa Police is in a position of leadership witch means he suppose to set an example for the officers in his department. Lt. Rick Van Galder failed to up hold the standards and the policy of the Mesa Police Department so any deviation from that is insubordination it doesn't serve the profession it doesn't serve the officer witch encourages Lt. Van Galder to repeat the same act so he becomes a liability to the department. Officer Dominguez did the right thing by arresting Lt. Van Galder Officer Dominguez is protecting his job and his pension especially when you have a camera in the patrol car. Officers in this generation can not get it through their thick heads that the job is not a career any more they run it like a business it's all about liability.
I investigated myself and found no wrong doing!! This is why we must abolish qualified immunity, No one is above the law
Holy cow...This cop's blood alcohol was 0.306!!!!
Those are First Team All-Pro stats
Yeah. That’s one beer and a pizza. Uh huh. The pizza must have beer sauce.
