Yeah, agree on that. That said, weaving over the line while driving a vehicle and carrying an open container of alcohol isn't the wisest thing. It's particularly stupid during this time, when according to most of the cops and firemen I know, it's crazy quiet here in Texas.
What makes it more problematic is that possession of a firearm while intoxicated is a class A misdemeanor in Texas. I'm too lazy to look up penalties for possession of a firearm while committing another offense (driving with open container.)
Would we be in agreement that what he did was stupid, but not worthy of pearl clutching hysterics? Fine and probation, put away the pitch forks.
Stupid and illegal.
The rest, I agree.
Total agreement with you. My main problem was calling this arrest part of a “nightmare weekend”. You would think he raped and murdered people. The only real problem should be the DUI, and that is very common throughout the population.
