This can’t be proved. I’ve poured a few shots into a drink and had it with my meal at fast food places plenty of times. He could have been drinking inside Wendy’s, easily. He could have gotten drunk, couldn’t walk to his sister’s place, decided to sleep some of it off in the car.
It’s hard to argue if there is a rejection of the need for nuance and that situations fall on a spectrum.
The law is the law until we see it a little bit. If RB had priors and he was about to get a parked dui, that could be real jail time again, and a drunken person could easily react drunkenly.
Do you as a cop factor in the fragility of the situation or do you exact the law word for word, regardless of how much more dangerous the situation will get.
The RB situation is extremely complicated. I feel bad for the cops and don’t think they deserve felony charges. However, I do think the police department needs more rigorous training on dealing with common scenarios at a higher level.
I also don’t think RB needed to go to be cuffed that night, and needed a place to sleep it off like he suggested.
It’s sad all around.
He was passed out in his car in the drive thru lane. Did you even watch any of the videos? He was not cognizant for most of the video.

Riiiight...
