Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson had “a couple of drinks with dinner” before driving home and slumping over in his vehicle, Mayor Lori Lightfoot disclosed Friday.

One day after the police superintendent she inherited requested an internal affairs investigation of himself, Lightfoot refused to say whether Johnson should have been driving or whether he should have been given a sobriety test.

Lightfoot told the Chicago Sun-Times she would await the outcome of the internal investigation before determining whether the rules were bent to protect the boss and whether to hold Johnson responsible.

“a couple of drinks with dinner”

Lol @ stupid drunks. They think a yes or no question is answered with a number.

Time to exterminate those who impose their impairments on society.

Let’s not jump to conclusions. After all, there will be a rigorous internal investigation here.

The first effect of alcohol is APATHY. The apathy begins immediately. With apathy the person does not realize their condition any longer. That is when they do acts that are not rationally motivated. That is why you sbould never drink alone, i.e. without a sober friend next to you and holding your car keys to make sure you get home safely..

The old "had a couple drinks with dinner" routine.

Cops just roll their eyes when they hear this.

I believe in some states that’s an automatic license forfeiture.

Except when it's your boss saying it.

I'm pretty sure it is in Massachusetts.

Can somebody explain what this means? How is this news? Did he die? Did he wake up later in his car and tell the world he fell asleep in his car? How is this even news? I can Google it to see if I can find another source for an intelligible article but this idiotic.
