Drunk driving with 0 blood level

Morning.

I just read about the fellow arrested for drunk driving with 0 blood level. No mention of race in the article until the last line where the driver's lawyer says quote it's a case of driving while black unquote. Well, maybe, but looks to me like the more wide-spread general illness of policing while stupid. (Ironically, one cop apparently acting correctly, Stupido the Presnit called stupid.) Always wondered if my Springtime allergies would get me suspected of stoned driving, but never imagined being busted for booze because of it.

There's prob more to the story. Was the driver 'rude to a cop'? Why was he stopped initially? etc. Still.... "I can tell by your bloodshot eyes you're drunk" sounds really, really bad.

I raised my kids to respect cops. I then had to explain the no Santy Claus truth about cops after an ahole in uniform slapped cuffs on my 10yo as a 'joke.' Still generally respect the folks who take that job, but not the ones who do it to reinforce tyranny, small scale or large. And teh stupid! It's pervasive!

end, 1st rant of the day
