Officer G.G. Music was faced with a tough decision. He knew the man in the car he reportedly saw swerving in and out of its lane was being driven by a fellow officer.

According to reports, Officer Greg Parks had become very inebriated and decided to drive himself home. Parks has worked 10 accidents involving drunk drivers since he rejoined the Chickasha Police force in 1998. He has also undoubtedly arrested many people on the same charges he found himself facing this weekend.

Some officers believe in the thin blue line - a code which insists that you don’t arrest other officers.

Music should be commended for showing character. If found guilty, Parks should take whatever punishment the court demands.

All reports indicate he is a good officer who may have made a big mistake. Hopefully, he can learn from the incident and continue his service to the citizens of Chickasha.

We hope all Chickasha Police Officers remember that Lady Justice wears a blindfold because the law is no respecter of people - even if they wear a badge.
