Well, this certainly brings up some interesting questions. Being that he was as drunk as he was, I'm sure that played a big part in his actions. We all know that being under the influence can make one not think or act clearly.
I also have to wonder if this will come into play as well:
Now, I'm not a LEO and I'm sure the policies vary from place to place, but I have to wonder if this is normal procedure in undercover operations. Had this been a drug bust, would the cops be allowed to do drugs as well? The fact that the suspect was tested and the cops possibly were not raises some questions with me. Also, if they were tested, how long after the incident did the test take place? Again, I'm not a cop, but I'd imagine that results would vary if they were given within a half hour or 4 hrs later.
I also have to wonder if this will come into play as well:
Alcohol also was a potential issue for police: The officers were part of a team conducting an undercover vice operation at a Queens strip club, and police officials said two undercover officers working inside including one of the shooters were allowed to have two drinks each. Police officials have insisted a supervisor at the scene afterward found them fit for duty. It is unclear whether the officers were given blood tests.
