Who is making excuses for him????

To a man, everyone agrees he acted like a jerk. BUT, he was completely justified in pulling over Moats to begin with (and frankly for giving a ticket).

Both sides we're wrong in this situation. The cop could've handled the situation a lot better by verifying their story and then letting them off with a verbal warning so that they could be with their mother.

The women should not have exited the vehicle and attempted to enter the hospital without first giving the officer a chance to verify the situation after he pulled them over.

Moats became agitated with the officer which in turn made the officer agitated and yes the officer was out of line but there were moments that Moats was out of line as well.

As urgent as the situation was had everyone remained in the vehicle and then calmly told the officer what the situation was this might've been resolved a lot sooner.

A lot of you might disagree with me but let's for a moment assume that Moats didn't run the redlight down the street from the hospital but instead ran a redlight a few miles from the hospital? If they approached this situation in the same manner this might've gotten a lot more out of hand.

This would be easy to do if everyone was calm and thinking straight, but somebody was dying in a matter of minutes and when every seconds counts, I don't think ANYBODY would have remained in the car and wait for the cop.

Thinking more about the situation, I would have tried to remain as calm as possible during the "business" portion of the traffic stop. With that being said, once it became clear that the cop was making it personal with his comments about screwing me and intentionally stretching out the clock things would have gotten very bad.

I've already got him on dashcam throwing his attitude around and the jury knows that I've tried several times to end the encounter and get to my urgent business in the hospital.

After the hospital staff has notified the cop of the situation and the cop has made his unprofessional comments I would have a hard time finding the player guilty had he just knocked the snot out of the cop.

The thing about putting people into desperate situations when it isn't necessary is that sometimes they take desperate actions. This is why you rarely see veteran officers on these tapes. They have learned that doing dumb things to inflate their ego rarely makes for better careers. Some of the younger guys haven't learned that, so we see them online and on the news.

Everyone reacts differently to situations like this, but yeah you can argue that most people would've probably reacted in the same manner but I'm sure there are levelheaded people out there who would've approached the situation in a more calm manner.

My aunt passed away from cancer 5 years ago and as fast as my family wanted to get to the hospital to be with her in her last minutes, my dad didn't run any redlights to get there. Not saying Moats was wrong in this situation but he made a split second judgement in which he thought he was morally right for running that redlight. Unfortunately there happened to be a dxxkhead cop who was in the right place at the right time, or wrong place at the wrong time...depends on one's perspective of the situation.

Now that was totally out of line and yes that cop should've been fired immediately. She did deserve to get her ass handcuffed and arrested though but definitely not like that.
