Instead they told everyone to remember how incredibly good police are, and how fantastic cops are, and to remember how much police are needed to stop drunk drivers, stop criminals who drink and drive, and arrest criminals who are found drunk behind the wheel.
Yes indeed. March 29th, four different officers have body cam footage after the fire department responded to Meier’s vehicle in the middle of East Mississippi Avenue near Buckley Air Force Base.
Not off in a parking lot, ON THE FUCKING ROAD
Meier’s blood-alcohol level was higher than 0.450, his foot was on the brake, the Taurus was in gear, and the engine was running.
Nate Meier later admitted to his superiors that he had gone home during his shift on March 29 and drunk "vodka from a bottle." The internal affairs report said Meier admitted to being "impaired" by the alcohol and was unaware of what happened next until he woke up in the hospital.
Over the weekend, Aurora Police Chief Nick Metz defended his decision not to fire Meier and called out what he referred to as “inaccurate media spin.”
The proof that internal investigations did an interrogation is that the police quote THAT internal investigations as the REASON that they can't arrest the cop (NOW, but they were required to by their oath of office at the time of finding him drunk, behind the wheel, with the engine running) as the 5th amendment right to not self incriminate was broken by internal investigations ordering the drunk cop to provide the medical records, which show his blood alcohol content as 0.45,
"Information gleaned from an internal investigation cannot be used for a criminal case since the officer is being ordered to speak with the investigator and the officer cannot invoke a right to self-incrimination"
Time to FIRE police chief Metz, and deputy chief Paul O'Keefe, and get an honest professional to run the police department to keep DRUNK COPS off the road.
Want to read what a cover up is written like by the police?
O’Keefe said he later began to question if Meier was drunk or if there was some other medical episode at play. “His physical demeanor was not what I thought was consistent with alcohol intoxication,” O’Keefe’s report reads. “It appeared more medical in nature.”

So, take a lesson if you're a drunk driver, use this police provided defense for drunk driving :
I am against drunk driving, but if the police have changed their position, and now sanction it, with the above legal document as to why you can be found passed out, behind the wheel, with the keys in the ignition, (the doors were locked, aka, vehicle on, keys in) and in the middle of the traffic lane, then - I say use their legal precedent for yourself. They do.
Update, the DA can't press charges because the police intentionally conducted its investigation in a way that would shield the officer.
Rather charge him for DUI, the department labeled what occurred as a 'medical event' and Meier was transported to an area hospital, then sent home, citing a lack of evidence to press charges.
The lack of evidence? Was that the police did not conduct a normal procedure of DUI investigation, and did not make the normal evidence collection procedure. Instead, they willfully disobeyed the police policy and procedures, and ignored all evidence, and with zero evidence of a crime committed, the District Attorney says he has no evidence to convict the comatose cop.
