IS THIS MOM RIGHT OR IS SHE TRIPPIN'?

[HairOfTheDog]

In a federal lawsuit, Long Island resident Kathi Fedden claims some officers were friendly with her 29-year-old son, Peter Fedden (pic above), because he owned a deli where he allowed officers to eat for $1 regardless of what they ordered.

After Peter Fedden drove through someone's front yard and hit a garage in July 2013, officers drove him home, even though he was "severely intoxicated" and visibly injured.

A short time later, he drove off in another car that had been parked in his driveway, crashed into a building and died.

"There is no question he would be alive today if he had been arrested at the first scene and there is no question he would be alive today if they had simply knocked on the door when they dropped him off," Harry Thomasson, Kathi Fedden's attorney, told CBS New York.

The $30 million lawsuit maintains that Fedden was too drunk to act responsibly, but that police should have known better.

"If you elect to take him home you can't just leave him in that driveway full of cars and drive off," Thomasson said.

The lawsuit also names the restaurant Ruby Tuesdays, where Fedden was drinking before the first crash, for failing to adequately train bartenders in DWI prevention. The restaurant chain did not respond to CBS New York's request for comment.

I think Mrs. Fedden is lucky that her son didn't kill anybody else the night of his fatal DUI accident or someone might be attempting to sue her.

Anyway, what do you think -- are the cops and/or the bartender fully or partially responsible for her son's death?
