Republican Florida politician caught on camera intoxicated after crashing his truck.

“Video and audio footage show Manatee County Commissioner George Kruse slur his words and struggle to answer questions in a recorded 911 call and deputy’s bodycam footage that captured the moments immediately after his alleged DUI crash,” the Bradenton Herald reported Thursday. “The commissioner has not been arrested in connection with the crash, and denies he was drinking.”

No person of color or any person without access to power in a similar situation would ever be treated so deferentially. No DUI test? Really?
