Not a good look at all.

This happens all-too-often. Type 1 diabetes' ketoacidosis causes symptoms of alcohol intoxication as well as a chemically ketone odor that can be mistaken for alcoholic drinks. As always, the root cause is poor/non-existent officer training.

Four Officers Face Federal Charges in Breonna Taylor Raid

Federal officials on Thursday charged four current and former police officers in Louisville, Ky., who were involved in a fatal raid on the apartment of Breonna Taylor, accusing them of several crimes, including lying to obtain a warrant that was used to search her home.

The charges stem from a nighttime raid of Ms. Taylor’s apartment in March 2020, during which officers knocked down Ms. Taylor’s door and fired a volley of gunshots after her boyfriend shot an officer in the leg, believing that intruders had burst into the home.

Two officers shot Ms. Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency room technician, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Note that the charges stem from the accusations that the officers lied to get a warrant.

‘Caught red handed’: S.F. residents fume after cops let man sawing off catalytic converter walk away

It’s a good time to be a thief in San Francisco.

That was the message city cops delivered in the pre-dawn hours Tuesday when they responded to a 911 call about a man cutting a catalytic converter from the underbelly of a car. The officers arrived to find the alleged thief at the scene of the crime, learned he was on probation for a previous theft and then let him walk off, car jack in hand — even giving him directions to the nearest bus stop.

Just another cop getting caught out.
