Speaker 1: I never heard the donkey other day. Say it again,
Speaker 1: you are true donkey.
Speaker 2: Today from Monday, August fifth goes to an Arizona Police
Speaker 2: officer named Zachary Hide. Now it's a teachable moment in
Speaker 2: this story, and the teachable moment is simply about irony.
Speaker 2: Life is too ironic, Okay. It takes sadness to know
Speaker 2: what happiness is. Noise to appreciate silence, absence, to value
Speaker 2: presence Fergie singing the national anthem, to appreciate Whitney Houston
Speaker 2: singing the national anthem, drive vagina, to appreciate that gush gosh.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to paint a picture for you to
Speaker 1: let you.
Speaker 2: Know that life is ironic and you will immediately understand
Speaker 2: the irony in the story when you hear it.
Speaker 1: Let's go to a Z Family three TV for the report.
Speaker 1: Police Tempee officer honored with the Hero Award at the
Speaker 1: annual Mothers Against Drunk Driving banquet a month ago. Was
Speaker 1: just he arrested for Duy. State troopers pulled over Officer
Speaker 1: Zachary Hyde early Wednesday morning.
Speaker 2: He was off duty.
Speaker 1: He's on admin leave now pending a full internal investigation.
Speaker 2: Hey, officer, Zachary Hide, a police officer honored by MAD,
Speaker 2: only to get caught driving under the influence after being honored.
Speaker 2: Y'all know what MAD is right, the mothers against drunks driving.
Speaker 2: Who fights hire sly to prevent drunk driving and support
Speaker 2: victims of the reckless behavior we call driving drunk. You, Zachary,
Speaker 2: were Officer Jeckell when you got honored, but you became
Speaker 2: Officer Hide when you got that eighty pro potion. And
Speaker 2: you Okay, Zachary got honored by MAD for keeping our
Speaker 2: roads safe.
Speaker 1: Only to become part of the problem.
Speaker 2: You would think being honored by MAD would be a
Speaker 2: badge of honor, Okay, you'd have some pride about that,
Speaker 2: a reminder to uphold the very values you would recognize
Speaker 2: for right.
Speaker 1: Nope, Nope, nope, nope.
Speaker 2: Officer High decided to go from hero to hypocrite. And
Speaker 2: that's why I believe he might have been set up. Now,
Speaker 2: I don't mean he wasn't drunk. He was drunk, Okay,
Speaker 2: he was drinking and he was driving. Okay, he chose
Speaker 2: to get inebriated, he chose to drive.
Speaker 1: But I do believe Zachary was set up.
Speaker 2: Okay, he got this award, and one of the other
Speaker 2: officers or somebody in his life that knows him was hating.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: They was like, hell, no, Zachary drinks more Makers Mark
Speaker 2: than me.
Speaker 1: All right, he was just drunk.
Speaker 2: Driving last night and he's getting rewarded by MAD this afternoon.
Speaker 1: Might have to drop a dime on that, Ninja. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's what I think happened. All right.
Speaker 2: Somebody couldn't stand the hypocrisy, so they lined them up,
Speaker 2: and rightfully so, because nobody should be drinking and driving.
Speaker 1: All right, Zachary, you are.
Speaker 2: A police officer, the person the public looks to to
Speaker 2: protect and serve, the person the public looks too for
Speaker 2: law enforcement and safety.
Speaker 1: You got it recognized by MAD. The mother's against drunk driving. Zachary.
Speaker 2: That should be a moment of reflection for you, all right,
Speaker 2: a moment to double down on the message.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to stand for.
Speaker 2: Okay, you're supposed to double down on the message that
Speaker 2: you got honored for, but instead you decided to make
Speaker 2: the comd of mistake that lands you in the very
Speaker 2: headlines you're supposed to prevent. Damn, Zachary, you know you
Speaker 2: had a rough day when you're honored by MAD in
Speaker 2: the morning and end up needing their services by the evening. Okay,
Speaker 2: what if he was celebrating being honored by MAD and
Speaker 2: that's why he got drunk in the first place. What
Speaker 2: if he thought the award came with a few free
Speaker 2: drink tickets.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to make sense to something that doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense.
Speaker 2: And the reason that doesn't make sense is because it's
Speaker 2: just simply the irony of.
Speaker 1: Life, Zachary.
Speaker 2: This is the kind of behavior that not only tarnishes
Speaker 2: your own reputation, but also discredits the efforts of organizations
Speaker 2: like MAD. And this is just another reason why we
Speaker 2: the public don't trust law enforcement. Okay, you had one job, Zachary,
Speaker 2: actually two, all right. First, uphold the law. That's it,
Speaker 2: nothing more because you're a police officer. Second, set a
Speaker 2: positive example, especially after being honored by MAD. The mother's
Speaker 2: against drunk driving for apparently setting a good example. And
Speaker 2: guess what you managed to fail at both jobs?
Speaker 1: All right. They say life is all about balance.
Speaker 2: Well, Zachary was trying to balance a MAD award and
Speaker 2: one hand and a drink and the other all right,
Speaker 2: imagine being the post a child for MAD. One minute
Speaker 2: and then turn it right around and be in their
Speaker 2: next case study. I hope this serves as some type
Speaker 2: of wake up call, because it's certainly a teachable moment,
Speaker 2: but not just for you, Officer Hide, but for anyone
Speaker 2: who thinks they're above the law, are immune to the
Speaker 2: consequences of their actions, because nobody is above accountability.
Speaker 1: Please give Officer Zachary Hide the biggest sea hull. Tell
Speaker 1: me about it, Jesus. All right, well, thank you for that.
