Steve Foley's trial begins

Steve Foley, the former San Diego Charger, appeared in court this morning for the first day of his Civil lawsuit against the officer who ended his career

One interesting point not made in the article is that the officer in question, Aaron Mansker, was rewarded in 2007 for Making 57 Drunk-Driving related arrests.

We're not sure why there is an award for 'Oustanding DUI Officer of the year', but fair play to the young officer involved - he doesn't discriminate between people who are drunk, and people who are drunk and could very easily kick the crap out of him.
