Summary:

Off-duty cop in bar makes offensive remarks to two women in his group; other man in the group complains; off duty cop hits man in the face with beer bottle, causing severe injuries, and then grabs man in chokehold.

Off-duty cop now suspended and charged with assault and reckless endangerment.

Congrats to a Bel-Air, MD, police sergeant for correctly arresting off-duty cop when he arrived on the scene coincidentally.

I heard about this. Bad decisions being made all around.

I guess we'll change the saying to "cops and alcohol don't mix"

I have no doubt that the suspension is with pay. Remember, they are their own little darlings.

Yup. Unless the story is totally wrong, clearly the right call, and not nearly common enough.
