Being on the other end of picking up jerks like this all night wears on you after a few years. We laughed but if you did it for night after night, year after year picking up the victims of drunks like this, am sure that the humor goes away fast.

It was funny to me but then its been over 10 years since I did Medivac for a living. Pick up enough body parts and it sobers you to a lot of things...

There are lines all over that parking lot. The cop knew this would happen. Plus, he didn't even bother to help the guy. What a d1ck.


If the guy was sober he would not have had a problem putting the tape down or walking any line.

The cop was making a reference line that the drunk needed to follow. Doing an angled line like the cop did would be fine for any of us who are sober but a drunk person inputs information differently. The mix of lines will confuse someone who is impaired, but easy for a sober person. The guy was drunk and did not even take one step, so you tell us who was in the wrong here?

The "dick" was the guy who was drunk, not the cop. If this guy had been driving a car in this condition and caused an accident or killed someone, would he still be a "dick"??? Would he be a dick had he hit your car, possibly injuring or killing you or your family?

Think about it then ask yourself if you really need to drink and drive. My limits are two drinks if I am driving a car and one if I am on the motorcycle. Anymore than that and I take a taxi home. If this "dick" would have taken a taxi home like he should have, he would not have been on video for the world to watch.
