Imagine this, you're out drinking all night and you know you've had one too many, but you decide to hop in your car and drive home anyway. On your way you find a construction zone and start dangerously swerving through it. You then proceed to run head-on into a police car, destroying the car and injuring the police officer.

You then get out of your car and start yelling racist remarks at the police officer who arrests you for DUI. Your day in court arrives, and the judge doesn't send you to jail, doesn't fine you, and only required you to take a simple alcohol education program. After 1 year, your record is totally clean. Sound too good to be true? Not if you're a judge.

This happened to Judge E. Curtissa Cofield back in October. She was very drunk, ran into a police car and never took responsibility for her actions. The judge in her case, Judge William Bright Jr., obviously doesn't think driving while drunk and injuring an officer of the law is that serious of an offense. That, or this is a classic case of judges looking out for eachother. But when your job is to enforce the law, giving breaks like this to fellow judges does nothing but hurt the judicial system.

Cofield referred to a black state police sergeant who responded to the scene as "Negro Washington." Asked if she was suffering from an ailment, she said she had "Negro-itis".

What's worse is she is still a judge, and hasn't been suspended or even questioned about her DUI. And considering judges like to hand out long, tough sentences for DUI charges to regular citizens, it seems they like to play nice with eachother.

If you think I'm over-reacting, ask yourself this: What would your sentence be for driving drunk, running into a police car and injuring an officer of the law while yelling racist slurs as the police officer?
