Dallas Police Delayed NFL Player as Relative Died

[filihok]

Wow, you ignored a lot of that story to write a post this moronic. The whole exchange should've ended right....here:

“My mother-in-law is dying! Right now! You’re wasting my time!” Moats yelled. “I don’t understand why you can’t understand that.”

As soon as that happens, the cop can either let him go, or be the biggest douchebag in the universe. And, judging by the police chief's comments about the situation, I'm thinking he agrees with my assessment.

Tell you what: read this version of the story, and then try to defend that embarrassment to law enforcement.

When you pull someone over you don't know what is going to happen.

What we don't know is where was the traffic light the guy ran compared to the hospital parking lot.

Did he run the light directly into the lot? Did he run the light and drive 3 blocks into the lot? The cop was there. And Moats was there in an emotional state. You don't know what happened there other than a couple words from an article on Yahoo! sports.

Maybe you should tone down your judgement until you know all the facts, which will likely be never

He's RIGHT BY THE HOSPITAL. The cop couldn't have let them go, and just wait by the car until someone came out and confirmed their story?

Are you a cop? Is your dad a cop? Did he get shot when pulling someone over? Is that why you seem to have some sort of personal agenda against this, and refuse to admit that it was the wrong thing to do on the cop's part?

No, but I can take the police chief's word for it. Hell, how can you read that story and make any inference that the cop's life was in danger? "My mom is dying" is dangerous now? What?

Let's try and not make this personal

[filihok]

No, no, no.

I don't think it was the wrong thing.

After seeing the video, I'll give you that this isn't the cop of the year either.

But it is nothing but fact, when you are a police officer, EVERY TIME you do your job you are at risk of being killed. They are taught to control the situation. Not just let anybody go with a good excuse.

I really just don't understand how the police chief can watch the video, along with all the other officers, and find him to be completely out of line, but you think differently. I think if anyone would know the ins-and-outs of the situation, it's the police chief.

Im thinking pride has something to do with it. Nothing wrong with admitting youre wrong.

[ragecage]

It kind of throws me for a loop, with fili's religious beliefs that are the same as mine, I would be outraged if it was myself in that situation.

[Arctic Blast]

I understand the cop acting the way he did...UNTIL the point where I guess a hospital employee came out and TOLD the cop what was going on. And his response is...

"Oh, okay...almost done."

At THAT point he goes from a cop doing his job to a powertripping dick. At that point he now KNOWS the guy has been telling him the truth, but no, I'll just keep him out here a little longer.

I don't see what religion has to do with it..

Read the original story that was posted.

There is nothing in the original story that states that the police chief found him to be completely out of line.

that's why I posted THIS

Of course I would be upset. But what do you think happens every time he pulls someone over. How many ******** stories do you think he hears?

A big part of my religious beliefs are to try and look at things from different angles to see the actual truth.

Fair enough, which is why I posted the Dallas newspaper story. And yet, after I posted it, you're telling me, "I don't think it was the wrong thing." Which I find puzzling.

The way I see it, the policeman had every right to pull him over and issue a ticket. But he should of allowed him to go as soon as he found out about the circumstances. I wouldn't even care if he did issue the ticket, as long as he did it quickly.

And, there is no way he should've pulled his gun out.
