Cop who detained NFL player at hospital quits -Right Thing To Do

Sadly this cop just didn't use common sense and although Moats and his family graciously accepted the cop's apology, the guy simply had to go after the incident gets worldwide attention like it did and the fact that over such a tiny infraction that I see cops violate all the time cost the man his final minutes with his mother in law all MIL jokes aside.

And believe you me I'm the last person to bow to racial threats and political correctness but this was a classic case of "driving while black", and the officer's ignorance to this special situation is exactly the gasoline that gives Sharpton Jackson INC their firepower. And the best way to shut them up forever is to not give them AMMO like this.

Cop who detained NFL player at hospital quits - NFL- nbcsports.msnbc.com: "DALLAS - The police officer who pulled out his gun and threatened an NFL player with jail instead of allowing him inside a hospital where his mother-in-law was dying resigned Wednesday.

Officer Robert Powell had been placed on paid leave pending an investigation of the March 18 incident.
