He has not had time to become corrupt. YET.

@Dawuud Lyons tbh I don't know. I hope he wouldn't have😕

@@vincentcommons9042 I think that he would *always* be thinking of that day as a rookie and probably has it seared in his brain that even a Lieutenant cannot get away with this when he's honestly caught and dealt with according to the law, and therefore he himself would not want to go down that path of arrogance. Just my thoughts.

Mesa police department is corrupt, proven fact , that rookie cop & his instructor will have to watch their backs bad cops don’t like good cops to rat on them

@@fordkenisaacs6425 especially in the US

Yes his attitude betrays him, along with his blood alcohol level.

Should have asked him while he was drunk. He would have told it all.

No doubt

Paul Williams my thoughts exactly, when i see a cop getting shot and everyone gets upset and as well they should but i know from experience in my life ,how many lives has this guy ruined by filing false and or misleading police reports

Railroaded, the guys clearly a god damned rapist and murderer.

He never arrested anybody for DUI. HE took them home or let them walk. Good guy.

@@jaysantos536 Didn't you mean to say he took their alcohol home?

NOW HE HAVE A RECORD LIKE ALL OF HIS ARRESTEES! GOOD!!!!!!!!

It's a shame that it's "nice to see," rather than "expected and required." Officer Dominguez did the right thing.

It's very common for cops to develop an "Us vs. Them" mentality. Which is why they cut each other slack, because they're in a war, and we're the enemy. Please note that this is the view of cops and their copsucker fanboys, not mine.

SMH!! Unfortunately this is too often the reaction of our so-called "public servants." The Mesa P.D. is the same P.D. the murdering cop, Philip Mitchell Brailsford worked for when he murdered Danny Shavers as he begged for his Life...

A husband and wife both servant of laws,both intoxicated. To my eyes both guilty. She shouldn't never allowed him behind the wheels and called a taxi. I know the arresting officer did great but should he have done the same if cameras weren't in place? I don't know

@@goffredoify really? Questioning the character of a Hero officer is not cool. He sounded like he has a conviction for righteousness to me.

And his training officer is pure gold

C. Lassard exactly cops dont get special treatment arrest him too

"In awe" oh yeah. In awe over what a f**k*d-up cop you reveal yourself to be! Good Lord! ^..^~~

respect the blue line hippy!

If he is still with the department. What do you think the public thinks about officer integrity after reading your post regarding peer pressures on extending professional courtesy?

@@shadowgarr7649 I would certainly hope they would reserve judgement and not put every officer in the same box, because they aren't. I still believe most officers are professional and well-meaning people and I would hope that most are honest. However, I understand the public losing confidence in officer integrity because of professional courtesy. Again, I will say the pressure to grant professional courtesy can be tremendous. When incidents happen such as we see in this video, the public cannot be faulted for second-guessing and questioning officer actions.

It amazes me that a retired LEO believes this rookie will have a 'stellar career'. Are you being sarcastic? It often doesn't come through in text. This rookie, by not giving the drunk driving cop preferential treatment, made himself many enemies among law enforcement. The Blue Code and the criminals in uniform who honor it do not tolerate cops who don't. They're driven out of the job in one way or another, even out of the profession. Odds are this rookie's just behavior will haunt him as long as he's in LE.

And his homicide detective wife in the car and drunk too. Wow

Only if it is you or me.

That's actually two charges.

The worst offence is having his wife drunk with him...

And he got 3 days in jail and a couple weeks of house arrest. What do you think your plea deal would look like?

You may be retiring tomorrow. But you will be fired today.

Should've retired yesterday!

Yes sir

Agreed, people entrusted to enforce the law should be held to the highest of standards. Not the lowest.

@@timthayer6419 over here in the uk, when someone like that and politians, say its an error of judement, coz as you know that sounds better than a crimianal offence, scumbags most of them

Obstructing? Please, no legal comments from shade tree lawyers or shade tree police officers.

How many people did he bust for DUI or let go! the arresting officers just saved lives!!

💯

My thoughts exactly. In fact, not only do we know but we’ve SEEN the consequences of drunk driving. If you ask me, that should be written into the statute as an aggravating factor for enhanced sentencing.

@@jeffhaworth3698 you are obviously a police officer. Thank you for your service. 👍

@@jenniferquackenbush7458 Used to be. Now I’m a paramedic. But because of my law enforcement background, I hold officers to a very high standard for on and off duty conduct. And having started my career at Maricopa County, this one just grinds my gears.

There’s another cop DUI video where the officer has the same BAC and yeah, it’s startling that level of tolerance

Probably not even the first time he was caught in 20 or so years, just the first time he was held accountable. Probably still retire with a pension 3x ours.

Should let the wife drive. Wait she was drunk like a skunk 2.

No not the first time caught but the first time arrested and brought to the public's attention and knowledge!

No doubt and I'll bet the rolling camera has a lot to do with him getting arrested. No way he gets arrested if there weren't cameras. The fact that there were 2 cops one being a rookie might have made the superior cop do what he did but you never know, he could just be a "good cop." I love the smug look on Dan's face when the cops came up to his car. He was like are you kidding me? Let me just show my badge and be on my way. At 3:51 - "Unbelievable" Dan says like he's being treated unfairly. I hate the double standard.

His brother, who is a cop, was arrested for DUI.

With respect

@Robert Day more than one police officer was involved in the arrest. Nice try

@Clifton Terrell yes

@corona Bery I'm ok with being arrested for DUI. Cause I don't do that.

Cops should be held to a higher standard. i would have gone so far as to have him fired making his pension void and brought up on charges.

Good point.

If it's dark outside, it's still the same.

damn straight Alcoholic highest level.

That's damn near death. Damn!

*If it's .306 and you are still breathing, it's close to a miracle. I've picked up corpses that had lower BAC (.300)!*

That was horrible ... horrible.

Don Mcc couldn’t have said it better I lived there for three years they are evilllll cops they make me really wonder about this world

Yes, from what I saw in the video they set Daniel Shaver up to murder him.

And the cop works for a steel company on Bethany Home Ave now. It Glendale Arizona

Sad thing is, it's not just MESA cops. It is Cops, throughout the country, and a National Problem, every -town USA.

True. Hmm. Let me guess, the law is flexible. Now we know the the word flexible simply means reprobate.

Amen, amen, I say to you! Yet most of society has no problem at all enforcing laws selectively and unequally. Indeed Martin Luther King should have included your comment in his Letter From a Birmingham Jail. I'd like to see a society in which both the arrester and arrestee submit reports of what happened. If indeed a cop is not a superior being to other humans, then there is no reason the cop should have the sole and categorical say in the matter. If they are honest, body cameras should not be a problem.

The only reasons they didn't let him go, was because the young guy was training and the camera was rolling. This does NOT go down this way very often. Cops almost never hold one another accountable for anything

I would say that's a privilege or possibly a leg up but definitely not a f****** law

@@kenjjjjjjmmmm that's what I'm talkin about Ken somebody who is informed and someone who is knowledgeable and someone who can deliver that which is written in perfect context.

That's a real good idea. Cops get double penalties civilians get for violating trust. Think the cop unions will go for that?? Didn't think so.

same standard's that r expected of us

EuropeOn2Wheels, in that case cops unions need to be dealt with. These guys aren't there to be driving around giving out smiles, they are out there to uphold the law. Unfortunately, lots of them don't know the law, so why are they still employed? Lots of them know the law and decide to break it(this video), so since they have a higher authority than an average citizen it's only logical they get a higher punishment.

Chris Meadows Ya , they should have gang enhancement's added to the DUI . O and pizza wife barfing on her self. Yum ,yum, She is classyyy

Absolutely it's a disgrace!

It's ALL just smoke and mirrors.

If the drunk lieutenant's self-entitlement is any indication, I'm sure all of his internal affairs investigations had the same conclusion and recommendation: Conclusion - Use of force was justified. Recommendation - Officer should be reinstated to active duty.

She's wrong. Don't ask a forensic person that question. She only deals with dead people. I'm an ER nurse and we routinely see levels in the 300s, the highest I've seen was close to 700. Sadly it was in a 24 year old kid in total liver failure from alcoholism.

lol. ive seen a guy with more than 3 times higher percentage and he was riding bike beter than this guy his car xd

I hope the cop who said that knows that the public respect him and thank him for doing his job.

Some People understood it wrong ( I did ) because we all expect cops to protect each other and not report it !!!

Candice really struggles with reading comprehension. Sad.

Yep I respect those cops for there decision what's right is right hope it continues...And sets an example for others

There is accountability for police, and no these things don't always disappear. You only hear about the cases that spin out of control on the news, not what happens on a daily basis. You are literally judging police based on 0 empirical evidence @Alex von Kessler

Your 1st sentence is an unfair generalization and mischaracterisation. No respect... FOR BAD COPS AND THOSE WHO PROTECT THEM. Penalties for cops who commit crimes should be more severe not less severe.

It's Mesq Police what do you expect.

Good point.

When did THAT ever happen?

Absolutely! But Ill tell you this Tucson Police Dept is just as bad if not worse. I can't understand how they can think we should trust them. They give us reasons on a daily basis NOT to trust them ever.

Daniel Shaver would agree, but he's not available for comment.

The court actions were in Gilbert

Man these police officers are totally corrupt everywhere and every time they're getting caught beating up people killing people attacking people for no reason

If you think this is a localized issue you're dead wrong. It's a flawed human issue. The only way the senseless violence will ever end is to stop giving the average man or woman "authority" to assault or murder their fellow human.

@@pammastroianni1335 i personally feel its sad. Sad because there are good cops who put their lives on the line to try & keep up civility & prevent anarchy, who because of the bad apples have to suffer along with them.

With no lube

We’re not civilians were citizens cops too

I was a Security Officer Sergeant Supervisor in a private security company being in security from 1984 to 2020 when I was medically retired after having been hit by an SUV while performing my duties. I was employed in Butte County, CA in Chico and surrounding areas on various assignments. Most of the officers that served with me quit because of illegal or unprofessional conduct on the part of the management of our company as well as others. The withdrawing of police support along with other political manipulation of the law enforcement-administration of justice system WOKE practices endangered us as did the corruption of the system. If I hadn't been medically retired, I would have retired when I was 66 at the first opportunity. THE SITUATION HAS NEVER BEEN AS BAD AS IT IS TODAY UNDER PRESIDENT BIDEN! VOTE MAGA, ELECT TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS!

That some cops, such as Van Galder, display

Which of the LTs questions should they have answered?

I think you meant to say, "Thousands" of dollars in fines and legal fees!

The fine alone in AZ for that level of dui is $6,000. Add court costs, home monitoring equip rental, vehicle breathalyzer rental, mandatory vehicle impound of 30 days in AZ and attorney fees and he's probably in for $18-$25k

Exactly Tom Leicht. My son is currently being raked over the coals for a .06 in Michigan where the legal limit is .08. He has had to breathalyze AND drug test every day since the arrest at his own expense. Was tricked into pleading guilty by his court appointed attorney (he told him it was something else. Yes he should have read it but he was still making the mistake that if he cooperated things would go better for him). He's a single father who drives for a living, when the system is done with him he'll lose his job, house and probably his son. And of course his judge was arrested for a .13 in 2006 and got only 6 moths probation.

Shannon Calleja plea Bargin is a scam,.

Police are above the law tho.

J. Carlos it is. Sadly they dont treat it as one

Lol ur an idiot if u think EVERY profession doesn’t give its fellow employees professional courtesy. Cops are no different. They put their lives on the line every day, if there’s one profession that fellow courtesy should be allowed, it’s law enforcement. I bet you’ve gotten professional courtesy in YOUR line of work.

divorcedme okay I’ll give you a personal example. I used to be a dental hygienist and routinely did root planing (a procedure done to smooth out roots to help the tissue reattach following years of periodontal disease (gum disease). Although there are many minor cases of professional courtesy I gave to fellow hygienists and dentists, one case stands out in particular. A new patient I’m seeing for the first time had undergone a series of scaling and root planing by a hygienist located in the same city as our office about 6 months before. Patients with periodontal disease get check ups every 3-6 months. I’m using an explorer instrument to check her for new or remaining calculus (tarter) and discover she has a large deposit on the backside of her lower right second molar. This tooth surface is notoriously difficult for hygienist due to its location-especially with patients with bone loss. After working on that one tiny area for about 30 minutes, I was finally able to remove a piece of calculus that had been missed by her previous hygienist. Looking back at the patient’s x-rays over the previous years I realized that the calculus was right there on the x-rays dating back 5 years but had been mistaken for an oddity in root anatomy that some patients do have. Had the previous hygienist used a manual explorer and had she been skilled enough, she’d have identified it years earlier which would have aided in the reduction of disease in that area. Instead of telling the patient that her previous hygienist had failed her, I simply told her that “it’s a very difficult area for hygienists to get to and it’s not uncommon for that area to be missed” What I had told her was mostly true but what I didn’t tell her was that her hygienist had been negligent. She had seen this patient 20-30 times over the previous 5 years and missed that spot every time whereas I had discovered it 5 minutes into our very first appointment. So I called the hygienist later that day and discussed this patient and what I had discovered and corrected. I then recommended a specialty scaler she could purchase to help her in detecting hidden calculus below the gum line in that area. I also recommended an advanced course I had taken which I thought might improve her skills. Had I told the patient her previous hygienist had been negligent, she’d have probably filed a complaint with the State Licensing board. No, no one’s life was at risk but I clearly did give that hygienist professional courtesy and probably saved her from having a formal complaint sitting in her licensing file at the state level. This happens ALL the time in dentistry and medicine. Some things we definitely do report but minor ones like the example I gave we tend to handle it privately amongst ourselves.

divorcedme my brother is a commercial and residential painter. A painted house (as opposed to one with say vinyl siding) usually requires painting every 5 years or so. He routinely is hired by upscale residential homeowners and sees evidence of neglect in prior painters work on these homes. Example: it’s obvious to him that a previous painter charged the home owner for very expensive paint but used a paint much cheaper and pocketed the difference. Rather than tell the homeowner what he discovered, he simply uses the actual high end paint the homeowner wants and remains silent. Word gets around in this town and were my brother to be known as a painter that rats out other painters...well let’s just say it’s a cut throat industry and my brother would rather not make enemies. Another example of professional courtesy that my brother probably extends at least 10 times a year or more. It’s like this in nearly EVERY industry you can name. Is it ethical? Maybe not but failing to extend these courtesies can make ones life in a given occupation very difficult. Law Enforcement is no different.

@@alexblaze8878 So if he he was given a professional courtesy and let go and then killed your kid you would not be suing the Gilbert PD , well because he deserved to be let go?

chefdsal1 you gotta respect that 🍺

Probable this cop has been "drunk" umteen times before & got away with it, but it catches up with you sooner or later, you reap what you sow !!!!!!

chefdsal1 I'll vouch for that!!

chefdsal1 Takes a lot of practice hahahaha

We gotta take away everyone's alcohol and firearms because of this guy.

Yep

I thought I was a drinker back when I was a kid and blew a .26 and fell out of the car....so yeah he MUST be an alcoholic...from Wyoming USA 🔫🤠

He probably drinks "on the job," too!

bill ding A long time ago I was interning at a small police department in Michigan. One day we had a guy brought in and his reading was an astounding .37. This resulted in not only an arrest bout a hospital stay for a few days. Not sure what the final outcome was. The more scary part of the story is that he had his wife and kids in the car, and his wife was pretty drunk too.

Here in Colorado there was a cop so drunk he was on the I-25 highway shoulder passed out. It took other cops to remove him from the cruiser. This activity is not unique.

He gonna lose his pension because he was fired and didnt get to retire?

@@fishodeath Depends upon his pension system. If he needs a certain amount of time before he has a "vested interest", like 20 years. If he has his 20, he can be forced to retire and go to jail. If he doesn't have his 20, kiss his pension good-by if they fire him.

Agreed. Too bad his future in law enforcement will be rocky at best, and will be ran off to another district, unfortunately.

Who was the pig saying “ he will not arrest you in front of me” ?

@@enesnyc1662 The training officer actually said "He's not gonna "not arrest" you in front of me". Replay at half speed. Or turn on closed-captions and freeze it at at 3:40 . What he means is that the arrest is going down.

@Susan Sullivan Of the two I've known personally one was running a kickback scheme with towing companies and using police authority to keep anybody who objected in line - as well as to harass the regional utility company in dispute regarding his rental properties. Openly. Bragged about it to me. The other was a white supremacist, failed marine, and a notorious hothead. His local claim to fame was shooting a guy in the butt while the guy charging at him while brandishing a weapon that was actually in a dumpster a hundred feet away.

Respect is earned it is not a privilage. He is now down to the mere mortal like all of us that he started out as thanks to an officer that respects the uniform he wears and displays that respect by honouring his commitment to serve the people.

No Lindsay. Police should be held to a higher standard. They have been trained. Educated and have seen what happens when you drink and drive. Good bless the honest police.

Can you imagine if shoe was on the other foot.jail him.

The fact that anyone would be proud of an officer for doing what is expected of them is very telling

@@mjdamato I don’t know, that would b one of the hardest jobs…to see, death, violence, and get yelled at and abused on a regular basis. I can’t stand officers who abuse their power. Nothing to me is more infuriating so when I c one doing his job right it’s refreshing

Kinda like when your child gets that really good teacher that goes out of her way to make sure your child succeeds. You know when your child has a teacher that is in it for the right reasons. Also, I job I could NEVER do so when it’s done right it’s relieving

The "cops" involved did what is right but yet you disrespect them. What is your real problem?

@@jerrygilbert7659 they were going to let him go if the rookie didn't speak up

Those days are over with body cams.....no more free rides for anybody........not even family

@@wendelldillard3758 - No it was the instructor who said the rookie would not let him go in front of him, so you fundamentally misunderstood who was who. But you are right that there are cops out there who would have let him go for sure, or at the very least help him get home or bring him to the station through the back (basically special treatment). Luckily as others have stated the body cams are fighting back against this immoral selective enforcement.

What "EVERYONE" gets 11 days at home arrest? And gets to keep their pension ? with no repercussions? What "EVERYONE" gets treated so honorably as this guy was? One step away from killing innocent people, and if he ran over a vagrant, would probably get off scott free.. We don't know the real actions that were carried out against this drunk even if the arresting officers took it that far, a judge, with a wink and a handshake could wash away the entire incident, that wouldn't happen to an average "Joe". As the Doctor testified, he showed signs that this was not his first rodeo with a bottle and I would be totally surprised if we don't see an other arrest video with the same drunk, of course an 80% chance the next officer will bow down to his thin Blue line crap and it will continue until someone of standing gets crashed into or killed by a retired drunk ex-cop.

He was fired shortly after this incident.

All this did. Be a hero. Learn how to job now. Rookie cop.this all b..s... A fake lie. Police don't. At fight. At substations. They pull there guns on each other. So what u think. He didn't do to that rookie cop.a monitor. To stop. From retaliation

Good observation on ' decency' within the police profession. Appears to be in short supply.

Well said man, well said.

Slow your roll. If there were no bodycams and dashcams, nobody would have EVER known about this. One of the other officers would have given him a ride home. In the grand scheme of things, like, so what? Not like he broke a minor's nose with his elbow or something.

A private citizen would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law so should a cop.

If that happened in Dearborn County Indiana, the arresting officer would have been deported. If the drunk officer had more pull than the Hispanic officer.

Blue privilege

@free air, you should have said "concussed" as in concussion, instead of "cussed!" Seriously though, you're right. Any of us "free citizens," would definitely have been beaten, accused of resisting arrest, etc. when pulled over! PD'S around the country are NOT conducting proper psychological exams on their employees before hiring them. Or worse yet, they are, and hiring them specifically because they're deranged!

Give it a break with “regular citizens would’ve been beaten” cry. Instance like those do happen, I’m not saying they don’t but the likelihood of that occurring is so rare given how many people are arrested every year. Just because there are some videos that show citizens getting needlessly assaulted by LEO it hardly makes it the majority.

Holy crap. You're insane if you honestly believe that given the same circumstances that a non police dui suspect would have been beaten. There are just as many or more videos of belligerent suspects being treated with respect when it isn't even deserved than there are of people being mistreated by police. Even when the goal of today's victim mentality is to do everything they can to incite cops to treat them badly. I'm getting tired of the whole charade people like you espouse

They did. It was a heavily edited video, but that is why he was handcuffed. If you are talking about towards the end, he was being released and had already been searched.

Actually they could have cuffed him up front. But the officer was in training. He's gonna go by the book.

Now he's got his neighbors to bully

No he won't. He was training under a Field Training Officer. Also, the cops are wearing bodycams. No longer can you cut a fellow officer a break. Bodycams ruined it for all alcoholic LEO.

That is very trut.this LT put his life in danger also the life of the citizens driving drunk.

You defend the constitution from foreign and domestic.

george foshee like pizza abuse

Absolutely.

To be fair, his wife wasn't driving so there's no PC to arrest her or even investigate her. Does she have a drinking problem, I'm guessing she may but that's neither here nor there at this juncture. I doubt they gave her a sobriety test cause she wasn't driving. She, more than likely, called a friend or a cab for a ride home, slept it off and in the morning faced the hard truth of what was going to happen to her husband.
