Idiot cops. The drunk would have been just fine without their intervention.

I'm guessing stupidity/poor training/poor proceedures over malice.

Well, did they drown him? Think he would have drowned if it weren't for the pigs? duh!
You must be a cop or at least one of those bootlickers who worship them.

The Water Patrol was rolled into the Missouri Highway Patrol a few years ago. My bet is that this was a former land-based trooper who had no business patrolling on the water.

Is that the actual headline? No.
And the lazy twit got the name wrong as well.
To: yldstrk
“Sgt. Paul Reinsch, a spokesman in Troop F”
I think I see the problem.

Cut him some slack. He’s a lawyer. /s
To: Eric in the Ozarks
I remember when this first was reported and we had a post discussing it. Seemed to be a monstrous procedural error in how he was being transported but we did have an eye witness recounting how the officer almost drowned himself trying to rescue his drowning prisoner who he was responsible for transporting.
The action occurred in the officer’s line of duty conduct and I think Missouri will pay a large bill for this incident. I would like to see the protocol that the officer was supposed to follow, but assuming he failed he has a job-costing error and may certainly be civilly liable. Criminal charges? That I have my doubts about.

The drunk would have been just fine without their intervention.But, then, he wouldn't have been punished for being under 21. /S
