    Best thing to do is fire that cop :twisted:

      yup, some of these guys just get power crazy and were never cut out for it. We had two punk cops here in wisconsin who made two recent vets lick up a puddle of piss in an ally way. Needless to say they are no longer employed, and neither should that douchebag in this case.

      So….

      You’re saying this is Mexico now?

      Where we all get to decide what rules to follow and what rules to disregard?

      Isn’t that special.

      Mexico, such a nice country, with wonderful drivers.

      No wonder why everyone wants to be just as fucked up as them.

      :roll:

      No actually Terry I never mentioned Mexico in my post, if you can’t see any situation where one might need to break the law than you are very narrow minded.

      Listen, watch the whole video, he DIDNT blow through a red light, he slowed watched and than went through.

      I guess if your wife was in labor in the back seat you would drive 25 mph and come to a complete stop at every stop sign too huh…

    • TerryTate

      Yes you never mentioned Mexico.

      I did, but you fail to see the point.

      Narrow mindedness comes in all flavors I see.

      The point is, is that we should try to follow the rules regardless of the circumstances.

      I have broken rules, as I’m sure you have, and with just reason.

      The difference I guess, is that I don’t make excuses when I break the rules. I simply accept the punishment, and move on.

      When the rules are continually disregarded by people with “just cause”, then eventually no one is obeying the rules, so why have them at all.

      Seems to me that we are having a crisis in this country over this very thing right now, or have you not been reading about the current government’s disregard for the Constitution?

      I guess it only matters when the rules don’t apply to you eh?

      Moral relativism is why we are were we are now, but I guess most of you think I’m just being a hardass, with little empathy or feelings for this guy.

      But the point that I am making is, why is the player trying to get the guy fired?

      He broke the law, he happened to get the cop that was a dick about it, but just take the ticket and move on.

      Now it’s a national story about who has a bigger dick, and gee, it’s the guy with more money.

      Once again, we come back to moral relativism, and thus how our country is devolving to nothing, et al Mexico.

      But I guess that point is lost on some.

      And for the record ArchInfidel, its nothing personal.

      I have also experienced the power tripping public authority, as that is something I deal with on a daily basis in my job, but this is getting ridiculous.

      Might as well let the Mob take over.

      Fuck it all.

    Much ado about bullshit. This story is being “made” by ESPN. The same ESPN that ignored Leonard Little DE St Louis Rams.
    In case you don’t know LL’s story let me edumacate y’all.
    After attending a birthday party in 1998, Little crashed into and killed another motorist, Susan Gutweiler in St. Louis, MO. When tested, his blood alcohol level measured 0.19 percent, a level that exceeds the statutory level of intoxication of 0.08 in the state of Missouri. Little received 90 days in jail, four years probation and 1000 hours of community service.
    Wait for it …wait for it…but there’s more…

    Six years later, in 2004, Little was again arrested for drunk driving and speeding. The probable cause statement filed by police said Little had bloodshot and watery eyes, smelled of alcohol and failed three sobriety tests. Because of Little’s 1999 guilty plea to involuntary manslaughter in his drunken-driving crash case, prosecutors charged him as a persistent offender. This made it a felony case. Little was acquitted of driving while intoxicated, but was convicted only of the misdemeanor speeding charge.
    Susan Gutweiler was a mother of three and a loving wife. Littles second conviction should have locked him in jail for a mandatory 20 years.
    Where was ESPN? Where was MADD?
    The point being, ESPN is the last of the dinosaur media that is able to control news and content.
    They are a monopoly in what is considered the toy box of news. When that news escapes the toy box and ESPN climbs aboard its soap box and excoriates police it is disengenuous at least and cowardice on its face.
    This story is sad but it was the players Mother In-Law, not his mom.
    Had it been me, I would have sacrificed my time so my wife could be with her Mother, as Moats did.
    When Moats became idiotic and made the police react his fate was sealed. Just tell your story, take the ticket and run to the patients room.
    Stop bashing those that protect your safety.
    Oh yea ESPN, stop shilling for every player.

  • TerryTate

    Uh ok.

    What if the guy had killed someone running the red light?

    Yes, the cop should have let him go in to the hospital, but that doesn’t excuse the player from running through a red light and putting others in danger because his non-blood relative is dying.

    If he had killed someone else to meet his own needs then I doubt anyone would think he is a hero. He’d have looked like a selfish asshole instead. He’s just lucky that it didn’t go that direction, and now he is pointing the finger at the cop to get out of any responsibility of his own.

      If you watch the video he did stop at the light, had his flashers on and than went through after seeing that nobody was coming. The officer was on a power trip, and apparently this wasn’t the first time.

      I respect police and what they have to deal with, but some people aren’t cut out for it.

  • jasjfarrell

    As if someone would really make up a story about his dying mother-in-law to avoid a ticket.

  • Vanessa

    As it is told they stopped at the light no one was coming and then rolled through it.

    I would have done the same thing. As most would.
    I can see that he was getting his wife as close as he could to the hospital so she could go in to see her mom.

    This was all so sad and unnessesary.

    You can tell when a person is really hysterically upset.
    Very easy for the officer to accompany them inside and see the situation for himself.
    Hey he could have left him a ticket on his windshield if he needed to uphold the letter of the law.

    But make no mistake he was Butt ugly unprofessional and needs a new profession.

  • Lobogris

    No excuses. The police officer was wrong.

    My only beef with the story is the “NFL player” plastered all over the place. As if “NFL player” means he should have received different treatment than “average Joe”. What a bunch of media pricks.

  • Ken

    This officer is a piece of shit – I hope I gets shitcanned. Fuck everyone who thinks that the officer is justified, or that Moats deserved the treatment he got. This fucking officer has a fucking God complex and he and everyone that catches his back can eat a fucking dick.

  • billy_bonney

    This is really Fucked up, No, the Cop shouldn’t have given him a ticket once he confirmed what was going on, BUT HE HAD EVERY RIGHT to stop this guy and check him out, the driver endangered everyone else on the road, and then blew the cop off, refused to stop, refused to show him paperwrok and likley exascerbated the incidcent. But hey, fuck that, I’m a big time football player and I’m important and I make a lot of money so screw you get out of my way.

    My issue is with the asshole CHIEF OF POLICE who suspended this cop for his actions….WRONG MOVE CHIEF
    go ahead and recind the ticket but suspend the officer for doing his job? This comes on the heels of a shooting of another officer in your city by a scum bag illegal alien selling drugs…..Morale is lower than whale shit and you geniuses at the top of the City management need to get your act together.

    Reinstate the guy and move on :roll:
