No charges were filed, oddly enough

"Three Gainesville police officers received written warnings for traveling through high-crime areas while off duty and harassing people, according to an investigation into the events, which occurred in November."

These fine "professionals", along with a University of Florida police officer, thought it would be a grand idea to get all liquored up and then drive around some of the sleazier areas of Gainesville, Florida while yelling at pedestrians, throwing eggs and otherwise harassing people in those areas for no reason whatsoever. This behavior happened at least three times, and two of those joyrides ended identically when an on-duty officer finally pulled over the overgrown juveniles. Unfortunately (but luckily, for the boobs), both cops merely sent the jerks home despite their drunk and disorderly conduct, and despite evidence that the driver of the vehicle was intoxicated on at least one of the occasions:

"According to the investigative report, a woman who is not a law enforcement officer was driving the truck. The report says the woman, as "the least intoxicated," had offered to drive." (Emphasis mine)

A bunch of presumably armed drunks tooling around an area known for its high crime rate, baiting anybody they come across, whether that passerby was a suspected criminal or not. That truly sounds like a recipe for disaster to us, and a scenario that would certainly get a carload of your average doofus peasants locked up on felony charges had they decided to engage in the same hijinks. Instead, these clowns get free passes from their colleagues, and are told to go home and sleep it off.

"The GPD officers reprimanded were: Brett Robison, Roy "Billy" Long and Joshua Hinson. Officer Keith Smith with the UF Police Department was also involved, but it was unclear Tuesday evening if he had been disciplined."

Written warnings and some fleeting public shame, which we are pleased to help provide, at least. That'll teach them. Don't dislocate your arm with the punishment stick there, Mr. Police Chief.

More important, we feel, are the names of the on-duty patrolmen who allowed these idiots to get off scot-free with their dangerous, disgusting behavior solely because they were "special people", and why they aren't facing any discipline over the incident.
