Not the Top Cop

Once again, we don’t find anything remotely funny or amusing about drunk driving. It’s a rotten, selfish, horrible and sad fact of daily life that affects someone somewhere everyday. And I’ve just now realized I’ve made it impossible to write a joke in this entry.
Tokyo’s chief anti-drunk driving cop has been busted for drunk driving, according to Reuters.
He was caught after bumping into another car and veering off the road. He just avoided total tragedy by not teaching a weekend student driver’s course.
When he got out of the car, he reeked of alcohol and couldn’t walk straight, according to one police official. That’s efficient, a police officer who administers his own sobriety test. That’ll save the department some dollars.

That is sad, but comforting for two reasons: One, it shows that even police chiefs are human and two, that some departments DO hold their own accountable.

It’s depressing when even those who teach against drunk driving are stupid enough to get behind the wheel drunk.
