Now why and the heck do you think those patrol cops didn't arrest their own Chief? DO you think any would have suffered retaliation if they had? I bet they think they would, you should ask them. It appears they may suffer some sort of discipline for at least not reporting the true facts of what happened. If they do, their personnel file will now reflect they covered something up and tarnish their integrity. Defense attorneys love to find that stuff out. Any cop who has dealt with drunk drivers or specifically traffic cops/accident investigators would have given the ordinary citizen in the EXACT same scenario a full battery of field tests along with a PAS (portable alcohol screening) test to check for sobriety. I can assure you in 95% of all traffic collisions between 1am-4am are DUI related. But without question YOU check for objective signs of alcohol intoxication at that time of the morning. I am sure a city the size of Riverside had a couple of traffic cops on deticated to DUI enforcement. A veteran traffic cop can see that someone is DUI at first glance. As normal the public officials are just playing stupid and seeing if everyone else will drink the kool-aid. Of course it appears many are getting smarter and not accepting the typical BS politicians give out these days.
