I don't even need to watch the video (can't right now anyway), I am sure that the cop was being an a**. I had just read the story on MSN before I saw this post and the 'clean up' was so obvious.

I heard about it yesterday, but because I couldn't understand WTH the news was talking about, I ignored it. Then, I saw it again on CNN, and was like, HUH?
What DWB? A loved one was DYING! I am sure the driver was not in his right mind to follow every single traffic law. It does not give him a reason to violate the laws, but you can be served by law enforcement in a more professional manner than saying "I could make your life Hell right now, but I don't want to..."
How about saying, "EFF YOU TOO!!!" I though Dallas cops were better than that... Well, let's say Irving, 'cuz I am unsure, but it looked like Irving to me. But if she was in Parkland...  Zale Lipshy or St. Paul, yeah!
For as many people who have driven under "the suspicion", I still like this video.

MOST Dallas cops ARE better than this!!
I live here where this happened. The hospital is Baylor Plano, a very nice hospital in a wealthy suburb of Dallas. No where near Parkland in many ways! The officer was right to do what he did for the first couple of minutes of the stop.
At the point at which a Plano police officer & the nurse came out to confirm the information to the Dallas officer, it should have been O-V-E-R. The Dallas officer has apologized, but there is just no way to apologize for this behavior.
The Dallas police chief, Kunkle, will absolutely fire this moron as soon as the obligatory official review is over. He does NOT like being embarrassed like this.
Anytime a boss's boss's boss's boss has to apologize publically for an employee's actions, you can be sure that it is a "resume generating event".

Just watched the video and I'm pissed off. You have other officer's, security guards, and a nurse telling him that Ryan wasn't lying. How cruel do you have to be to not let someone see their loved one one last time?

This is so ridiculous. I saw it on the local news.
A nurse and security guard went out and TOLD the police officer the woman was hanging on by a thread and wouldn't be alive much longer and he still did nothing.
At some point in the dashcam video (I think it was towards the beginning) the police officer said "I could make this a really bad say for you"
What a jerk.

Because even a "pig" is entitled to due process -- a fair hearing before his pay is cut or he is fired. Which I hope he is.

I wouldn't get "due process" if I acted like that to a customer at my job. I'd be fired out-right. He's a public official who is a detriment to the city he works for and the citizens who pay his salary.
So, the family of the dead woman is still paying his salary (assuming they live in the same municipality).

If there was a legal remedy that would lie because the defendant acted like an enormous douchebag, Moats could retire from the NFL right now.

Disgusting, just disgusting. He had no compassion whatsoever.
He was right in the beginning, stop a car who ran a red light. Afterward, it was a total power trip. What an a-hole.

By defendant, of course, I mean the officer as defendant and Moats as plaintiff in a civil suit.
