His stress from the gang unit caused his work-related disability of alcohol abuse, he will go to rehab. If he is liked, after the trial (or plea) when the attention of the media goes away he'll be back on the job. If he is not liked they will make an example of him.

There will no doubt some sort of disposition than spares him "prohibited person" status.

Pretty sure that's the standard disposition for a first DUI in Mass.
Unfortunately, I think you're right. Job related stress led to his drinking, and subsequent drunk driving and carrying while intoxicated. Since it's a "work related injury" he'll go to rehab on the taxpayer dime, as well as collect his full salary and benefits during that time, then return to duty with no real consequences for his actions.
IIRC, another police officer already used that argument when he was caught drunk driving. I don't know how it worked out for him though.

If they didn't/don't charge him with 269 s. 10H, they aren't taking this seriously.

Only if the defendant isn't stupid enough to blow into the machine and he has a good lawyer. I'm sure plenty of people get hung in MA on first offense DUI all the time... course it is worse if there is a crash/injury/drama as opposed to a "casual" DUI stop.

True for the OUI, but what about the carrying while under the influence charge?
A first offense OUI in MA will generally get a CWOF, provided the defendant doesn't disrespect the system by going pro-se. OUI CWOF is a funny beast, and carries many of the penalties of a conviction (often includes a license suspension; treated as a guilty finding for insurance rating purposes; treated as if it were a conviction for the purposes of a "second offense OUI charge" in the future; can include requirement defendant attend reprogramming classes), but without the other complications of a "conviction". (Prohibited person status; showing up on the employer visible version of CORI, etc.).

I had the same afterthought after I posted, but I was on my phone and didn't feel like editing it.
First offense w/ no admissible BAC = 1 year CWOF, 6 month or 12 month (if under 21) license suspension for not offering evidence to incriminate yourself by submitting to a chemical breath test, and some victim witness fees.
And lots of explaining even 17 years down the road whenever you undergo any sort of background investigation.
The stinger hood would bolt up to a 327, 300 hp car.
