He should have used the qualifier “some”.
I recall a little while back, probably before first suspension, the knuckle dragged asked me what I thought the percentage of unprofessional/ill qualified and poor performing cops was and I suggested 5-15% and he hugged out like it was 1/100th of that. I stand by that, may even be a little low. Think the margin for error in that job should be infinitesimal (below 3% to start), so even 5-8% is highly problematic in my view. Seems like to a degree the adverse selection, like the future of football and the military, not to mention boxing, is pushing that up. We will see.
5%-8% is a huge number as that 5% can go out their way to be problematic. I have a friend that is on the force for a blue collar former mill type town. He said it was open season after Trump was elected. His wife wanted him to quit because she was afraid of “friendly” fire.

Why zero tolerance is the only answer to codified force

At his sentencing in February, 2000, Perez marketed his version of what went wrong. He offered apologies and accepted blame. But, he also blamed the "intoxicant" of police power. "The us-against-them ethos of the overzealous cop began to consume me. And the ends justified the means," he told the court. "We vaguely sensed we were doing the wrong things for the right reasons. Time and again, I stepped over that line. Once crossed, I hurdled over it again and again, landing with both feet sometimes on innocent persons. My job became an intoxicant that I lusted after."

I don’t understand why the Chief had to show her badge. The guy may have given them a warning or stepped down the ticket. Didn’t give the officer a chance to let them off before deciding to use her influence. A dumb decision has led to something that was avoidable. Probably will collect a hefty retirement package but it could have ended on her terms. Now “FLP” and MSM will be the bad guys.

Yup, a really stupid move on her part. If I were in her shoes knowing it was being recorded the last thing I would've done is what she did. That could have been taken care of later off camera. Question is, like the guy who gets the DWI, how many times before getting caught had she done this (wrongly using her position) ?

Probably not the first and under what other circumstances. I just don’t get this “the police are above the law”. I don’t care what country it is, the police take advantage of those that don’t have a voice.

It's a fringe benefit the elites allow their Praetorian guard. Gotta keep those prison "trusties" happy...

Me too in asking and confirming it’s recorded then busting out the badge…unless she was drunk.

Just stupid. I guess the department doesn’t understand the concept of professional courtesy. The police uphold the law volunteering their time. Give her a break.

They were drunk. The guy said they were heading to the club…(to get resupplied). Plus they were in a cart so they wouldn’t get in trouble for driving under the influence. You’d have to be drunk to be stupid enough to flash your card while on camera.

The question now is where will she end up next. Her career isn’t over because someone in the brotherhood will take care of her.

You can get a DUI in a golf cart in most places. Seems like Florida is the same way from a quick search. Carts in my area have to be registered like a car if you're driving it on or across any public streets with limits over 25mph.

Think she was drunk and stupid considering her past and actions. Protecting dear ol hubby who seems to already have issues with DUIs.

You're right about moving locations. Like pedophile priests, they just shuffle around.

I also thought driving golf carts drunk is illegal. There’s a town with communities SW of Atlanta called Peachtree City where the folks do it all the time.
