I drank 2 beers and got pulled over on a date in front of the resturant for having no tags by a rookie cop...
Dude said i was hammered and locked me up. They towed my car and made my date walk. I told the cop that I had 2 beers over a 1/2 time of a football game... It was sunday at 8 PM and I was dead sober...
He did not want to listen...I went to the station and blew a .061 and when the limit was .08. They still pressed charges... I still have no idea why as I did not say a single word to the cop...
I had to waste 1500 on a lawyer to get it dropped...

It has nothing to do with labor agreements. Its a defamation of character issue. The Bears presumed him guilty.
what are you talking about? No one defamed him.
They have given this guy chance after chance after chance and he blew all of them. They may very well have assumed he was guilty. HOwever, it wasn't one isolated incident that got him cut, it was the innumerable ones before. They needed no reason to cut him at all. Whether he was "legally drunk" or not he was still stupid enough to drink and drive. They were probably sick and tired of dealing with him, his stupidity and the impact it had on their team. Virtually any brush with the law and the league would suspend him, what good is a suspended player? Wasting cap space and a roster spot.
"Impairment to the Slightest Degree." is a BS law that cops lock you up for when they realize that they fawked up and you are sober and they can't charge you with a DUI/DWI...
Instead of doing the right thing and letting you go they give a bs charge to make them seem like they are right...
Fawk man... Some forms of mouthwash can give you .01 to .03...
that's bullshit man....fucking facists. similar thing happened to me many years ago in CA when it was still .10.....blew a .7 and CHPs till took me in and made me spend the night in jail "because I was an asshole" - then released me at 4 in the morning....went to court and judge shook his head and dismissed it...represented myself (which you should have done)
.
So I guess if you kill someone it will be okay because you blew .061 and not over .08? Are you that much more under the influence by that difference? The fact is, he didn't get cut by just that one incident. He is and will always be a turd. Just like Pacman Jones is and will always be a turd.
