woodstock officer arrested for dui!

[Woodstock Resident]

I just read in the paper a Police Officer was arrested for a DUI.

First, the Officer was arrested not convicted.
So anything can happen. Its my understanding he was a very good officer but sadly this one mistake could cost him his job. You wont see the headline Plumber arrested for DUI, but anything to do with a Police Officer makes the headlines because police are held to a higher standard then any other job. Not to mention if that plumber was charged with dui he would still have his job.
And this story should squash the myth that police dont arrest police.

I would lose my job if I was convicted of a Dui. He should lose his job. I am pretty sure that he drives a police vehicle. He cannot do that anymore so what can he do? At my job, it all comes down to insurance. The companies' insurance cannot cover me if I have a dui on my record, so that means I'm fired! Police are only held to a higher standard when they are caught doing something they are here to check for and prevent. You might know or not! They are bound by an oath to uphold the law. Not to break the law! You must be a police officer! Police do arrest other police officers that break the law. BTW police do not arrest there own police officers! You guys always stick together!
