BE REAL PEOPLE! To lose her career for a first offense, I don't think so.  A lengthier suspension yes, but to be disbarred NO.  This is an awful incident, it  may prove to make Judge Cofield a more compassionate LEO's Jurist.  This woman holds herself to the highest standard...now she has taken herself Down a KNOTCH.  I would wager, that it will take Judge Cofield much longer that eight months to recover herself respect.  She is fortunate that race and gender are neutral in this case.  If anything, she has shown herself to be self-loathing.  Very Sad.

lox501,   You must be one of the liberals that put the socialist president in office.   We do not need a LEO friendly judge, we need a judge that works for the protection of people, citizens of

this State, and Country.   This was the first time she got cought, the next time she might kill someone, maybe a family, man/woman, leaving some kids w/o a father or mother, or both.     What then?  oh it's only her second offence, give her a break!  Give us a break, kick her butt off the bench and put her back into the real game.   The game of life!

"No tolerance for DUI's"  that's what we pay judges for,and they work for US!  and it's our Court Room, not theirs, we pay for it, we build it, and we put them in it as custodians of it.   Lets wake these Judges up!     She deserves to be fired and disbared end of story.

I Thank You!

This outcome really highlights what's wrong with our country. We have become too soft on everything and everyone with the exception of Law Enforcement Officers. We would be a stronger nation if all were held to the standards society has set for us. The LEO would be standing in the unemployment line if he had uttered half of what the judge said.

She shouldn't be a judge anymore. No length of "suspention" is long enough.

i think the judge should be hold accountable for their actions after all we all have to follow the same rules why should it be any differant if it was and is a jugde?

They all seem to come out of the woodwork.

If she had not been driving while intoxicated, she wouldn't have had occasion to become belligerent with Police Officers.

She's 'sorry' because she's in front of a review board, but the point of the matter is, she verbally assaulted several Police Officers, and is obviously unfit as a Judge.

She willfully put those, obviously several, drinks to her lips, and willfully took out her car keys and operated a motor vehicle.

So yes, by definition, she willfully harrassed those officers, and shouldn't be allowed to continue as a Judge.

A great example of the double standard that permeates the criminal justice system.  This type of conduct, if committed by a law enforcement officer, would not be tolerated, and would possibly be considered "Brady" material.  I am sure the judge will not have to recuse herself from trials involving minority defendants.

After reading the news story about her arrest I can only say that I am glad that there were police cameras present during the incident, otherwise we might be seeing her in court claiming "Racism" against the officers involved.  This judge is a total embarrassment to the judicial system and her lame excuse of not realizing what she was saying because she was "Drunk" do not fly on any level.  Her credibility and professionalism are shot.  She should have been dismissed from her judgeship, not just suspended.  You can rest assured that if it had been a LEO caught on tape making those types of comments he/she would be collecting an unemployment check as we speak.  Shame of the state's Judicial Review Board for not firing her instead of suspending her.

BUMP

There is no evidence to indicate that Chicago Police officers are involved in the reported allegations. As a matter of course, we have launched an investigation into the matter." (last line)

Take heart good compatriots-in-arms:  Soon, very soon, the white man (officer) will be an officially recognized minority.  The silly us-versus-them push-pull of racial considerations and preferences will dissolve and logic will reign then forevermore.  This pathetic (former) judge's tirade would have zero affect, her detainers instead attributing the illogical performance to symptoms of mental disorder and said creature reassigned to fast food preparation.
