No evidence, no point in an ethics investigation.
I think the initial cop on the scene did exactly what he was supposed to do and got screwed by his superiors on this one.
And I’ll ask this once again–when’s the last time you’ve been pulled over and were considered so sober that a cop ended up calling a taxi instead of allowing you to drive home and put you personally in a cab?
She pulled a fast one and got away with it. She must be so proud of how many bridges she has set fire to in the last two weeks.
This is precisely why Bradford’s breath-holding tantrum was so unnecessary (and so damn laughable).
that ought to earn her a special award.
Getting out of driving drunk and getting a cab called to get home, no less? Check.
Using your “Get out of DUI Jail Free” card to keep from submitting to a breathalyzer test? Check.
Having got out of any damning evidence, making the need for an ethics investigation invalid? Check.
Throwing the DPD under the bus, particularly when every single Denver cop that works the Capitol beat knows about this obscure law and sees her plates even before he gets to her window and asks for her license? Check.
Threatening to throw your Party’s one seat majority into jeopardy? Check.
What a busy gal.
We can only hope her fans in Mesa County don’t have A.D.D. if she decides to run again – as a Republican, of course.
Janet Rowland? Rose Pugliese?
But I heard a new name earlier in the week. Stay tuned….
just for the entertainment value
Slam dunk.
to update us all on whether or not she’s going to walk back that statement, too, that she likely will not run again.
Since she’s backpedaled on every single one of her other threats, I’d be inclined to assume she’s gonna walk that one back, too. I suppose it depends on how damaged she is by this with her constituents and just how high their tolerance is for bullshit.
Hard to walk away from earned media like that.
sheesh, the lengths this lady will go to hang on to her job gives me the creeps. Freaking psycho.
vote for a slug as long as it had an R after its name. Bradford is proof positive of that.
The question is whether Rowland wants the seat or not. My guess is, if she wants it, it’s hers.
She is probably now going to go on a crusade to find the drunk driver that the cops should have pulled over. Good luck with that one Laura.
But would this story have been different if Bradford had becomes Democrat? I think so.
Not as far as I’m concerned.
Besides, there was no way that would happen.
Now the Legislature needs to do away with legislative license plates.
Standard GOP Operating Procedure – If a Republican does something unseemly, use it as an opportunity to take an unwarranted swipe at the Democrats, or the Librul media, or any other favored target. But NEVER, under any circumstance, talk about it if you can’t figure out how to do that.
A Democrat would have been driving a hybrid, probably.
I have nothing more to add.
Driving while impaired is totally a partisan issue, and it’s just wonderful when events confirm stereotypes! It’s just great!
Getting behind the wheel on any number of glasses of wine is inexcusable.
But that’s not in your DNA, is it?
drunk driving and then throwing tantrums and threats in his or her wake, we’ll be happy call a Dem a-hole an a-hole, too. I can think of several times you expressed surprise at our lack of robotic solidarity.
Hardly anything for you to work with spin wise, this week? Catholic Church seems pretty satisfied with Obama’s solution even if all of your candidates and your congressional leaders are trying really hard to keep frothing at the mouth. We now know that the percentage of Catholics who have never used birth control is a really, really tiny minority and the celibate clergy in dresses just try not to think about it.
Obama’s approval/disapproval numbers are steadily improving along with economic numbers. After getting creamed in three state Mittens performance infront of the crazies was a laugh riot. Oh yeah, he was a real severe conservative as Mass. Governor. The guy’s hysterical.
Your party’s core is so out of step with the rest of the electorate, it’s probably is no longer possible for anyone who can win a GOP presidential primary to win the presidency. So naturally you’re going to try to make this out to be another case of Dems(who was it in charge who called for a hearing?) picking on a poor innocent R again. What else have you got? Nada.
Look, we brought down Komen. Why aren’t we outraged enough to take down a Colorado legislator and the police who are lying for her. At some point, we need to ask ourselves how much are willing to give up as Americans. We deserve better leadership on every level.
Are we supposed to believe that the COP BROUGHT UP LEGISLATIVE IMMUNITY? Come on! is anyone buying that bridge?
And of course when I’ve been imbibing with my lackey lobbyists, I always scream “Treat me like anyone else” multiple times when I get pulled over. What is so improbable about friendly cops calling for a taxi to help someone who wants to be treated like every other DUI suspect get home without driving herself?
I think the core problem is there is no way to know. And that takes us to presumption of innocence.
And be confused by the facts?
Last I heard was the second conflicting report from DPD. Is there a link to it?
http://www.denverpost.com/brea…
Link at the bottom of the article.
Shouldn’t he be at least fired for falsifying his report and possibly prosecuted? We can’t allow someone who would do something like that to retain his position in law enforcement.
He definitely should be fired for lying. There is no such thing as a minor lie where cops in the course of doing their job is concerned. If DPD lets cops get away with lying, of what value will any court testimony from cops be. They will not have any credibility. Since testifying in court is an important part of a cop’s job, they have to have unblemished credibility. Period.
is the subject of the internal affairs investigation.
I think it’s the sergeant who showed up later.
who lied should go. Sounds like cop did sensible thing to call in Sarge and Sarge should be responsible.
