An embarrassed Public Safety Director Frank Straub announced that the FBI will be brought in on the case. He also removed a lieutenant from his positions as commander of the department's hit-and-run unit and coordinator of the multiagency Fatal Alcohol Crash Team.
um... this may be the definition of irony. What a terrible, terrible guy. Obviously drinking and driving is a known killer, but if you are trained to be on a special task force to combat fatal alcohol induced accidents, and murder some guys on motorcycles while driving your cop car while being super drunk, you deserve to have the book thrown at you.

"He also removed a lieutenant from his positions as commander of the department's hit-and-run unit and coordinator of the multiagency Fatal Alcohol Crash Team."

The lieutenant was a member of the special task force, not the officer involved in the crash... Either way, shameful...

I've heard of the Blue Wall of Silence, but that is ridiculous! The cop was on duty and driving drunk! If anything, other cops should want to get rid of him before he gets them killed!

I'm pretty sure he meant "get rid of him" as in put him in jail, not kill him.

Cops sticking together is no surprise, but I honestly think self-interest would include removing someone that can hurt you. I guess the Indy cops are corrupt and dumb!

That is just wrong. It makes every bad cop stereotype that much more accepted.
