This is beyond reproach... To serve and protect my ass, this officer should be fired

[Tilt A Whirl]

Um Moates really isnt a celebrity
He's barely in the NFL,he's been cut twice in the last two years.
And it certainly isnt because he's black
Its because the NFL players union got a complaint,and then they got the dash cam,which even the cops arent allowed to erase,and lets be [/b]honest,the dash cam makes the cop look like a total douchebag.The Union probably leaked it to the press,but even if they didnt,the media would have gotten a sniff of it anyway.
A week ago,nobody knew who the hell Moats was

Ah I see and I get what your saying. This was exactly my thinking too that an ordinary person would have no way of proving the story or any power to demand the police camera footage. He would just telephone the station or write and make a complaint and probably not even get his ticket refunded.

You have to some major leverage to get the dash cam footage and an ordinary Joe Blow's comlpaints would just fall on deaf ears.

Oh and I definitely agree about that cop sounded like a total douche.

But I do think he should still have got a ticket. I mean its not a good precadent to set that if there is a big enough emergency you can jump a red light. The law has to apply to everybody and not be subject to personal interperation. I also feel that way about the role of the police is well. I want them to do their job according to their rules and regulations and not make their own judgements because when people start making their own judgements is when things tend to fuck up.

So I completely agree that the cop was right to stop, pull over, demand to see the license and insurance of the driver and then issue a ticket, all of that is perfectly fine with me.

Thats certainly a not well thought out statement from either of you...

Bullshit!!! when you have the hospital staff and hospital security telling the asshole officer that the story is legit, you bet your ass that would have made the headlines... and news flash the hospital has cameras too outside there entrances.

Whats your proof monkey that the union got a hold a complaint

Because if you made that up, you have to stop telling untruths dude.. We need to start calling you father goose, with all the the shit you been spinning lately

It had to get leaked to the press somehow,the press doesnt exactly have access to cops onboards.
And Moats himself is barely in the NFL,so I doubt he has access to a lawyer who could get it that fast.
Do the math
It was it is called,a very reasonable guess
