When this story first broke it enraged me so much I couldn’t even type the words. As most of you know already, NFL player Ryan Moats, accompanied by his wife, her father and aunt, ran a red light on their way to a Dallas hospital where his wife’s mother lay dying. This heartless Dallas cop detained Moats in the parking lot — at gunpoint — for 13 minutes while his 45-year-old mother-in-law passed away inside the hospital.
Thanks to loyal member Coop for sending me the link to the story last week. WSHH has the video of the racist cop doing damage control in an effort to save his job. The cop is currently on suspension with pay.
The police chief talked about how outraged he was. The question I have is, isn’t suspension with pay a vacation?
KARMA IS A BEAST, I HOPE HE KNOWS THIS!
I am glad his wife ran on in the hospital to be with her mother.
the story broke last week but it was my understanding the whole thing happened sometime ago (early march).
what took the story so long to break and this fella too to make a statement?
kwall – the incident happened on March 17th but it took a week before anything surfaced on the news because the other officer on the scene reported it immediately to his supervisor. There was an internal investigation and then the news about it was leaked to the media on March 25th. The police chief issued his apology to the Moats family on the 27th and the officer issued his on Monday (the 30th).
The Moats family said that they did not plan to come forward with this publicly. They say they were not the source of the media leak.

*****what took so long to break is that the Moats were just going to file a written complaint and be done with it ….a local television station found the video and they broke the story ..that is now why it is public..
**another nfl player wifes stated that this same cop did the same thing to her , but he went so far as to take her to jail for running the red light ..the wife was hispanic ..she was eventually released hours later and the ticket also was dismissed
hmmmmmm….. there are other stories about racist situation that are goiing on in america as well…..just fire his ass because if it had been a blk cop and a white family he would have been given the boot or forced to resign that day.
This idiot needs to fall back. I am really hoping IA will review his entire history starting with his first day on the job. You can rest assured this is a common practice for this foo. He cannot be terminated fast enough. He needs to be made the example!!!!
@teecee i agree! that cracka KNEW exactly what his azz was doing..now he tryin’ to back peddle cause he scared he gon’ lose his job! and yes, to Dhoward..suspension WITH pay is like a vacation..I never understood the point of that foolishness at all!!!
Why do we act surprised?? Cops all over the US are nothing but legal thugs. Police is a legal Gang that can do whatever, whenever and however. It is that they just getting out of control by killing innocent people and getting caught. They wonder why people starting to become a lot more defiant towards law enforcement but you can push people only so far.
@dblaq…PREACH! i cringe when i see them phuckas coming and i don’t have anything to hide! they just make me sick and they azz is never around when they should be! in my area (Virginia) the cops like to mess with you when you’re simply trying to go to work in rush hour traffic! they’ll pull u over for simple shyt and then want to look “offended” when you look at them like WTF?!!! can’t stand ’em!!!
A wife of the another NFL player, Zach Thomas, said that he treated her like ish too. His wife is hispanic…..
Zach Thomas’ wife made an illegal U-turn and instead of getting a ticket, Office Powell hauled her off to jail.
That cop looks like he’s got some Black in him.
I’m just sayin’…
