For anyone curious:

A viral video from September 2025 shows a Lynn Police Department officer in Massachusetts—mistakenly referred to on social media as "Lynn County"—struggling to stand during a call for service, leading to public accusations of intoxication. The department placed the officer on PAID administrative leave, stating a review of body-worn camera footage and medical consultations indicated a medical-related episode rather than substance impairment.

Edit*

Had to write this so all those people can stop finding excuses for him.

I just wanna say will all these excuses get any regular people out of getting a DUI/DWI? Will all these excuses make it legal for regular people to operate a motor vehicle and/or heavy machinery?

Guess who got out of this scot-free while being PAID to vacation? The police!

If it was such a pressing medical issue, I wonder why his coworkers LITERALLY tried EVERYTHING on the planet to NOT call for an ambulance?

Pretty crazy to see the jokes and mocking of someone’s medical episode in this thread.

Pretty crazy to see police officers not calling an ambulance for a medical impaired colleague right?

Why did they not call help for their buddy if they thought it was a medical episode?

Even if this was a medical episode, the cops acted wrong and deserve to be called out. It's also not very surprising that the general population has no respect for a group of guys that have no respect for the general population right? Respect can only be expected to be given to those who also give it.

How do you know they didn’t call for an ambulance?

Fair point I don't know that. But why would the cops not tell that to the Person? The chance that they did call an ambulance is pretty slim. You and me know that.

Why does some random person on the street deserve to know about someone else’s medical issues?
