Glad to see they had time to slum around while people were being raped and killed in the aftermath of Katrina. Way to go!

They are not allowed to stop off at a Hooters to eat during the road trip?

I understand the problem with the weapons in the girls hands but I do not get what the problem is with these guys stopping off at a Hooters on their way down or back up whichever the case may be. They did a road trip to help and they cannot blow off some steam along the way?

Like I said the only problem I see is the fact that they pt their weapons in these girls hands.

Really? You think its appropriate for them to be using vehicles and equipment bought by the public to get drunk at Hooters?

Pictures of cops off duty getting drunk in a bar with pretty girls is not news.

Pictures of cops, in uniform, getting drunk and showing of their vehicles and guns with scantily clad girls is a problem.

Who was the MORON who handed an AR15 to Hooters girl?

How would each of your employers feel if you got wasted driving from a company trip, using a company car with the company logo on it, in clothing that identified your company, and pictures of the event were posted on the Internet?

How many of the cops were drunk? You were there I assume and can prove that they were drinking, got drunk THEN were playing with the weapons? Pls show your records showing that they were drunk then we can move on this tidbit...

Couldnt be that this was one of the few places open after the hurricane to get something to eat, that they gave the girls a tour of the bus THEN after closing and securing the vehicle got dinner and some drinks?

Lets see... an empty AR-15 on one hand and the girls have steak knives from the kitchen. Which one is more dangerous?

Scantily clad girls? Where? Hooters girls wear more clothing than you will see on girls out shopping where I live!

BTW Jeff, how do you know that they were not on their way back home after volunteering in NOLA?

Jeez I just love armchair quarterbacks who "know everything" while they were not within 2000 miles of the place. What they did was not the best thing in the world but you guys are acting like they had a mazola party in the back after consuming gallons of tequila, then shot up the neighbourhood just for good nature.

If my guys had volunteered to go out of town to help out in NO and they decided to stop off at a hooters on the way back I would not have a problem as long as the driver was being a DD and not drinking too. Honest.

But then again, in the past my wife , kids and I have stopped at Hooters and we would eat there more if the food did not suck so bad.

Come to think of it I am more offended that they ate at the crap hole.

I really do not find them blowing off some steam in a Hooters so offensive.

I do find putting weapons the girls hands to be a huge problem.

Where did it say they volunteered? Were they being paid at the time? Nice use of public funds for the vehicles, etc. They were in Alabama. Chief is also being sued for having five officers work on his house when they were supposed to be on duty. Thought you needed better judgment to lead SWAT.

Its big local news around here. From what I understand, they were on the return trip home.
I dont have a problem with it at all myself. Wasnt to smart to do it in uniform or to hand a civilian a weapon. But than again I have seen police let people handle weapons at the local National Night Out demostrations, and similar events.
I'm more bothered by the chief having the work done on his house.

Several years ago we had an employee; a senior inspector type, get caught soliciting a prostitute on Hollywood Blvd. while in a company car (big logo on the side!) also while under the influence and in possession! yeah, that went over REAL good. Of course he got fired and all the rest of us that had done nothing, had to go through several training sessions, endure a general, all-around "finger-wagging" and company cars got REAL difficult to get for awhile. It was, "Fire the Guilty...(..and punish the innocent)"

maybe disciplinary action, but is this really newsworthy?

People need to get a grip. Not like it was a prostitution ring they were running
