SWAT called out when Yolo County deputy fires gun while drunk [More]And it's not that they then found him passed out on the floor that's the true illustration of "Only One" specialness. It's not that he shot one of his dogs. It's not even that he used his police-issued service weapon.

Key was not arrested at that time. As per law enforcement protocol, he said, officers left Key at the hospital and then prepared a report for the District Attorney's Office to recommend charges, if any...it is impractical to have officers at the hospital for hours or days waiting until the suspect is released to arrest him or her.Do you think you or I would have been arrested "at that time"? Does "law enforcement protocol" allow them to cuff violent and dangerous hospitalized suspects to bed rails any more? Or do they only do that to drug suspects who refuse to pee for them?
