It is bad and he needs to face consequences, but the headline made me think it was worse than it was. He was polite, and his team reacted stronger than he did. I wonder how much the suppression was his PR agency over him; when he was in the station and telling the officers he appreciated everything they do, that is as good as you can do in a situation like that. Drunk driving is inexcusable, but that is not a celebrity meltdown which is how it’s being shared in a lot of headlines.
