Fort Woth Police Officer
Officer E.G. Wincoritch was arrested off duty Saturday night after wrecking his car and leaving the scene with his breath smelling of alcohol. The chief of police has been reorganizing the Fort Worth officers so they can get a handle on all these officers getting drunk and getting behind a wheel of a car. He is now the third Fort Worth Police offficer who has been arrested for DWI. I certainly feel that police officers hold a respected role in the communities and they should act in a way that other people around will respect them. Right now the Fort Worth officers are not looking so good and I think that maybe if they have higher standards when inlisting people in the Academy will limit all the young males from making one stupid mistake that will cost them their jobs and possibly hurt themselves or someone else. If I was one of the families who was effected by these officers, I would almost want to ask them how are you protecting and serving when you are out killing people with your drunk driving. I know the new chief is having zero tolerance of these actions so hopefully he will be able to get a handle on this and Fort Worth officers can get there names cleared to something better than a bunch of DWI officers. What kind of officers are we hiring? I just feel that there is way to much chaos going on in the streets and all over that we don't have time to be having these issues constantly repeated when we are wasting time that could be focused on catching criminals and making our area a safer place. With all the crime that is out there too much time is not being focused on that but how they are going to get a handle on these officers drinking and driving. This just shouldn't be an issue. I think if their had been a zero tolerance policy first hand that maybe it would have made them think twice about what they were doing.

Police officers should be held to a higher standard than regular civilians when it comes to events such as this one. Those who are put in charge of enforcing our nation’s laws should first evaluate themselves and decide if they are responsible enough to do so.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I think people in certain roles should be consistent with those roles. How would you feel if a journalist was a perpetual liar "off the job"? How would you feel if your president was cheating on his wife? How would you feel if your doctor was addicted to pills? Do you think one's character should be consistent on an off the job? I'm a huge fan of consistency!
ReplyDeleteokay yes i agree that these officers should be held to zero tollerance standards, but on the other hand. i think that rule applies to when they are actually on the clock working. He's a middle aged man who had a couple drinks and made the bad decision of leaving his car. or even getting into his car in the first place. BUT we all make mistakes andhe's only human. we can't say it's any worse of him to do it than my dad just because that man is a police officer.
