Memorial Procession for a drunk and careless firefighter?

I have been having second thoughts about keeping this video up on youtube all together! This firefighter was off duty and got drunk with friends and he got behind the wheel with two friends in the passenger seats and eventually crashed and he was ejected because he had no seat belt on and died. The two passangers survived with injuries. Does this honestly deserve a long memorial procession? If he wasn't killed he more then likely would have been fired from the department! And if he did surive but one of his passangers died he would have been charged with murder! Serving the community or not it does make you give this some second thoughts when watching this video.
