Not starting this to start a war and its nothing against fabb and djack. But you guys career path doesn't always have good vs evil.

I give you the tragic story of Houston Texans running back Ryan Moats and the little bit of justice that he got this week.


Officer Robert Powell, who detained Houston Texans' Ryan Moats resigns - ESPN


RIP to his mother-in-law Jonetta and RIP to the end of a career of being an inconsiderate prick Robert Powell. Your rascist view as well as your hard on to bust an athlete caught up to you and cost you. People like you are what gives cops a bad name.

Wow...that's all I can say. If Powell feels that an apology will suffice, then he's pathetic. If I were Moats, I would have told him to take his deepest apology and shove it.

yep. id like to see the law book that says he couldn't go watch his motherinlaw die and then go get his friggin ticket for running a red light. regardless of laws he didnt murder someone. so sad :(
 
There are police officers that are forced to be assholes nowadays. I've talked to a few that have said that they are instructed to give tickets for anything and everything. They are trying to raise money for the county or city since the economy is in the crapper. This doesn't go for all of them, obviously. And some have better morals anyways.
 
i will tell you one thing never mess with a black woman and her mother, that guy is one of the assholes as to why i don't like most cops! oh yeah they are giving tickets to people for 5 over, but whats the sense in the tickets, people can't pay them? so then it goes into a deeper money pit, which the state is f*cking themselves, because they were trying to get a few more bucks
 
What the cop should have done was gone to the room where the dudes mother was if he didn't believe him. That is f*cked up.
 
Most people haven't really been hit financially. Many people are simply saving their money because the economy is unstable. Which obviously doesn't help the economy either.
 
some people are just ass holes i wold give any thing to be with some of my friends and family that have died and that idiot ruin his last chance of seeing his mum no offence but f*ck HIM im pretty sure any other police officer would let him go esspecially after it was confirmed his mum was acc dying
 
if you google it there's a video of it. you can see a nurse come out and ask the cop if he can come in shes dying. Officer Racist Dick says "When he's done". he also tried to give former Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas's wife 5 tickets a year ago for an illegal u-turn. bad economy or not nobody deserves that.
 
All the guy had to do was pull over and tell the cop(miles back) the situation and ask for an escort and more than likely the policeman would have got them there faster without altercation.

edit:

the guy was a typical ahole cop. Reminds me of my uncle who was on the force in Dallas. Nice guy but at the same time a real ahole.

there is more to it, we ha d abig thread about this on chitownracing,the limo driver was driving irraticly, endangering others safety, blowing red lights, and pulled into the hospital like nascar!!! and 'black ocupaints' jumped out of the cars, shouting and yelling,

now this IS NOT A INSULT OR CUT ON black/african americans.. whcih ever is the ocrect term...

BUT the way things are in cali/chicago/ atlanta/ houston/dallas, how would you react to someone driving like that, than people jumping out of the car shouting and yelling, im sure you would feel your life may be threatent and someone could have a gun...

i totally agree with the cop pulling the gun in fear for his safety.. BUT once he was informed of the fact his moother was in fact dieing, he should have let them goto his mother, detained the limo driverand sited him for dirving like a jag off and let him be on his way..

thisguy carried it outta line more than it should be...


like i said if i lived in any of them bigger citys and acar was driving like that, and finnaly stopped and ppl ( it dont matter if white or black) jumped out gettin 'roudy' yelling and sh*t id have atlest un holsterd my pistol to be safer,
 
I have been in law enforcemn for about 9 years now and yes maybe the offier should have done some thins differentbut nobody else saw what happned prior to the stop like 4cfed said. Unless you have been there and had to deal with what officers deal with on an every dy basis then you wouldnt understand. Like I said Im not saying that the officer couldnt have donethings differet but not every officer is like that. I have seen officers in the past act and eact to things the way they shouldnt have but it was dealt with and they did some time. Every officer is different, people expect we can do anything an want to call us when they need us but yet when its time to return the favor well you guys know what happens...nothing.
 
I agree with the cop on this one. It may offend some of you but you have to look at it from both sides. Do you want people disregarding police to a point where every bogus story has to be accepted?

Driving at eractic speeds and disobeying traffic laws is a serious offence. What if this personal had injured another bystander? would his excuse of the grandmother dying kept him outta trouble for causing vehicular manslaugter? We can't say for sure that this couldn't have happened due to the way he was driving.... butwhat an officer DOES know is what proven steps are necessary to bring the situation to a hault and regain order. So of course that is how he is going to act.

At what point is a dying relative on the same level as a child that fell outta the crib ok to speed and disregard law enforcement?... We have no scale for this thought process do we....

The officer should have acted differently when hospital personel made the story legit, but at the same time Moats should have never disrespted an officer. The officer had no idea who he was at first, to the officer it most likely seemed like a car full of people with complete disrespect for the law. Im sure the people were yelling and shouting to a point that the only way the cop could get the situation under control was to do what he did. <--which is what you would have wanted this been any other circumstance. Then his wife ran outta the car towards the hospital...

Big lesson in life "NEVER RUN FROM THE POLICE"

Bottom line was the officer was following protocol, sadly though didn't change his course of correction after hospital staff had informed him of what was going on. This could have been avoided....
 
The cop was young and acted that way also.Stupid decision on his part and on Moats part also.It could have went down alot better.Some po's are good most are not.

while to an extent you are right it could have been avoided, but not on the side of Ryan Moats.

funny this same letter of the law officer was also involved in the aforementioned issue with giving a player's wife a ticket for an illegal uturn. this woman who never had anything on her record was given the ticket and 4 others and was threatened with jail. the judge let her go on 4 of the 5 and said for a class c citation someone shouldn't be threatened with jail.

yea if the situation was reversed what do you think would happen? if the player interfered with the cop going to see his dying mother-in-law then that cop would be made into a national hero by the media.

also against everyone and "protocol" for a violent situation by an officer. watch the video then talk about it.

a nurse and the other officer with you come and tell you that yes they aren't lying that they don't have weapons on them and they are'nt there to cause a riot, yes they are here to watch a family member die. so as a cop in that situation after all is said and done you say im almost done? done what? at best he had a disturbing the peace and a running a red light ticket. psshtt. that it? judge would let that go in a heartbeat. beyond dont run from the police dont mess with the NFL. at best it goes to court and what the city gets another $150 in fines and thats justice? cmon people give me something better then that.......
 
she died of breast cancer, its not exactly something you die from in 2 hours. They had time to say their good byes and whatever peace they wanted to say before she pasted. Their is no excuse for the drivers actions or not stopping for the police.

I may be a cold hearted person but my job as turned me that way. I dont view death like others do.

Also the only reason this made the news is because it was a well known person involved. Had it been you or me, this would have never even made the news on a slow day. Race is not an issue and I for one am getting tired of all the people pulling the race card. The stuff would go away if people would let it.

The cop may have made a few errors. Nobody is perfect, but their is no reason this cop should have had to resign over this issue. I would back this guy 100% to be back on the force. He follows the law and enforces, exactly as any cop should do.

This is my opinion and my opinion only, no need to get all bunched up and moody. You have yours, I have mine.

I had to put the desclaimer since some people on other boards got a little upset at my opinion.
