Officer Resigns? Most Likely Fired!

ESPN is reporting that the officer who detained Houston Texans player Ryan Moats and his wife has resigned. This story has been a popular topic of discussion, therefore I decided to keep my 2 cents away until there was some resolve. Now i'm extremely happy to say "GOOD RIDDENS."

Anyone who tooked the time to watch the video of this situation should be as disgusted as I was. It was absolutely ridiculous! Moats never revealed who he was and never asked for any special treatment because of who he was; he only asked to be treated as a human being. And as a human being, he and his wife should have been ENCOURAGED to rush into that hospital and be by their mothers' side in her dying moments! ENCOURAGED...not DETAINED. Moats pleaded with the officer several times, expressing the significance of the time the officer was wasting away. Did he care? NO. Do I believe he cares now? NO. He only cares that his job was at stake and is now no more. To hear him speak in the interview about how afraid he is to lose his job because of how important his family is to him, was a tad bit amusing. A few weeks ago he seemed to have no understanding of the importance of "family" but when it affects him personally he seems to have all of a sudden reached some enlightment. It's pretty sad.

"Shut your mouth, shut your mouth. Do you want me to take you to jail?" Those were the words he had for Moats, a man who was only attempting to take advantage of a moment he'll NEVER be able to get back. A moment that many of us are not even blessed to have. How could he take that moment from Moats and expect to still have a job in place when its all said and done? I dont believe for 1 second that he resigned...he was fired, but given the opportunity to resign in attempt to "save face." Regardless of the how he was kicked to the curb, it had to be done! The job of a police officer is to serve and protect. I don't feel well served or protected with my life in the hands of individuals like this. The force is much better off without him. Barely takes a genius to know that!
