You are most certainly correct in describing the format that should be
followed. Problem is that the badgemonkey belongs to a fraternity that
routinely refuses to police itself. Nothing will happen to the thug. He will
be sent back out to the highways to harass and abuse citizens, the fire
fighter might perhaps get some taxpayer cash to help cover up the incident.
It will be business as usual.
Absolutely back to business as usual after a minimal examination of the event.
Worst part is, hell be out being the BIG MAN with every last motorist he pulls over. Puffed up blowhard.
