I can remember trying to enjoy a picnic at a park with my wife and baby and being unable to because of scum of the earth types who think they are entitled to get drunk, scream at the top of their lungs and generally make a nuisance of themselves.
It appears to me that FR is full of these jerks who think anyone who wants to be free from alchohol in public places is some kind of weirdo.
There are good reasons why these parks do not allow alcohol. It is the law and this guy was flaunting it because he is too damned sorry to obey the rules. Probably thinks he can do whatever he wants because he is a cop.
As a matter of fact if this guy was simply drinking a beer and not bothering anyone, I would have just let it go. He did get in his vehicle and drive away tho.
...don't take this personally....but we enjoy going to a fine restaurant, enjoying the atmosphere...only to have it interrupted by shrill screams of kids running back and forth from their table whose parents can't or won't control their behavior. Same thing happens in department and grocery stores too. Ask the checkout teller...they'll tell you the same thing.
After 1 beer? So you're in favor of zero tolerance and no one should have a beer or a glass of wine outside of their home if they are driving?

"Probably thinks he can do whatever he wants because he is a cop."
Yep - bet he drives around without a litter bag in his car, too (required in our state). What a scum - take his badge.
"He did get in his car and drive away though." Not illegal; he'd have to have blood acohol over the legal limit for the state he's in. I doubt one beer is going to do that. Nevertheless, let's make an example of him.
The size of the beer is what is needed to be known.
If it was a 12 oz or smaller than I find no fault.
If it was a quart, well then that is a shame.
