Dallas Police 'Embarrassed'

[polock45]

If the dash cam wasn't there it may of played out different.

[imkingofmymind]

this is what happens when we let idiots be cops. theres a rapist cop in my home town... sad thing is nobody's killed him yet

[DONOFCHRON]

Besides I agree with going after a suspect that runs a red light. but as soon as this "suspect" runs right into a hospital parking lot and exits the vehicle with his family then shouldnt that ring some bells in a cops head...maybe its a fucking emergency? and even if you needed get out and make sure just incase, after hearing the man screaming for this dying mother...you'd think a cop would be convinced that there is no threat and he could have even escorted the man for fuck sakes...dispicable.

[MrScottrocks]

thats a cop for ya.....my way or go to jail....

[devilselbow]

Also lmao 3 year "veteran"

[randomreggie86]

FUCK THE  POLICE

[aieshaxo]

wow.. i hope that cop burns in hell

[chivo214soulja]

fuk him. that was really messed up

[maverick10241]

that is nothing but police power being abused because he knew he had the power to do it almost the same thing that happen in TN a 17 year old boy was dyeing in the hospital from injuries from a car accident instead of the cop calling his mother to see him before he died the cop waited until the boy did die then he called the mother and told her she didn't have to worry anymore about her son that he was dead and hung up the phone the cop was CAPTAIN STANLEY HENDERSON ROBERTSON COUNTY TN SHERIFFS

[2204Alpha]

Did it ever occur to anyone that the family should have been there all along if it was so important?

She had been in the hospital for days AND they knew she was critical hours before they arrived.

Either way, the driver broke the law, period.

What if the police stopped the guy who just killed your family and he says, O I'm pulling into a hospital to see my dying mother and the cop lets him go.

The cop did his job and his pansy chief wouldnt back him up.

[worldgovernor]

@2204Alpha Shouldn't the Police Officer should have gone with him to see his mother, and should have known about emergencies? yes no?

[maverick10241]

@2204Alpha man your something else a cold harded bastard to say that i hope it never happens to you but if it did you would do the same thing the player did but if you didn't ,then i feel sorry for someone like you,,don't bother to reply because i want except from someone like you so don't waste my time. GET A LIFE

[thcheif]

wow... wow.. poor guy. he plays on a shity football team and now his mothers dead. wow

[harshLesson]

u know damn well he treated that black man the way he did because of the color of his skin!! everyone here knows if that were a white family instead of a black one, that cop would have acted completely different. wow even though, what a heartless bastard. im so mad i just wanna slam his ugly no lips looking face into the wall.

[MsLourie1]

Can you boys stay out of trouble? At least the officer was not violent and if I was going to run from an officer I would pull in a hospital and go out the back door, the department should of backed the officer how was he to know if he was famous or a wanted felon

[jaybo360]

@MsLourie1 ARE YOU SERIOUS !!! WOW!!!

[harshLesson]

@MsLourie1 huh are u fucking stupid?? he pulled into a hospital with his family!!! if he was a criminal running from the police i dont think he would pull into a hospital, tell the officer his mom in law is about to die, and have 3 girls running in towards the hospital. that doesnt matter to you though does it? your probably a solid south white hick who still loves president bush and doesnt think the truth or facts are important, just what is fed to you at your local church.

[lebronsmyboy6]

you should be embarresed , hard to find the right words? how about absolute fucking moron. i hope that kids mom dies in front of his eyes at the hands of Lawrence Taylor maybe hell fuck her after words to.... note to police... EASE THE FUCK UP!!!.... its examples like this that make you look like absolute douchebags.. although your self portrait in this video is enough excuse you fuckin crack head .. whadda bunch a bullshit..

[sorrysonofa]

"we were embarassed, disappointed" you are assholes that's it.

[lthlwpn1]

Being famous does not give you the right to ignore an officer's signal to stop. The only thing this cop knows is that he just chased a vehicle refusing to stop and putting the public safety at risk. If this jerk off football player had stopped in the first place and explained the situation he probably would have gotten a police escort to the hospital. The Dept. is WRONG for not supporting this cop. The only reason you even heard of it is because the driver is famous and black, PERIOD.

[Adamboy20]

He looks like a little fuckin crack baby.

[yugai15]

Doing his job? Fine escort the man to see his mother and after that's done THEN write him the ticket..geez

[kevin77475]

Cops are little pricks that can't pass the firefighter test

[ghostman199]

He looks like a bitch boy with a power trip because he got his ass beat in high school all the time. Fucking prick shit's like this embarrass Texas residents. Go jump off a bridge into a bath of stagnant piss.

[apfc]

FUCKING COPS... THEY ARE WHOLE BUNCH OF CROOKS AND MOTHERFUCKERS.

[a11theabove]

I swear if I had seconds before my mother is about to die I would fuckin punch the cop and run in to see her.

[Jlemay117]

Fuck Dallas police

[undergroundflowin]

cops are sub human alien androids that appear to show little no sense of compasion. Society has arwared the biggest chumps with guns and badges.

[MrBustadmo]

fire the fuckinc cop bastard. they, like everyone of us, MUST be able to show some basic human compasion

[a1465]

Ass- Hole...

[masterpunkinvader]

cops r fucked

[GypsyLifeForMe]

i would have told the cop to just leave the ticket on my windshield and i'll see him in court.

[willdrumforfood05]

the cop looks like a cocky jackass too. He obviously isn't a cop... He is a corrupt piece of CRAP!

[jizoedotcom]

that police officer proabably hears the same excuses day in and day out, poor rich black football star cares about his fuckin moma so much he should have been there in the first place and never left the hospital.

[dnt211]

Wow. Now that's a huge stretch in logic. Sad how some people will do anything to protect racist insanity.

[j0x333]

When you look at the cop at the end, he looks like a little mamas boy

[bloodyfreak123]

i **** his mother this son of a ***** when i see him i cut his head off

[1paranormalGOD]

wat an asshole

[tuvok79]

Problems like this one occur based on the lack of human override to laws that are not designed to accommodate rare situations such as this one.

[almostask8er95]

that guys a douchebag

[Bryz785650]

what a dipshit

[D4rkisara1i]

stupid little punk ass mother fucker i would o went in anyway and if he tryed to taze me just me like fuck you mother fucker i honestly wouldnt care fuckin pigs

[KAOLgh]

What is wrong with that police force!!!

[dieudonneMC]

You prove me right  every time!

[maldonadonit]

i feel sorry for the football player but if it was a normal guy it would'nt be on the new!!!!

[ElishaShemuel]

They teach the cops lies. A traffic stop is a tax, revenue stop. It is not an emergency death defying feat. It is at best everyone who engages in such terror, fosters a wicked imagination of a wicked heart run wild set on fire from hell.

Tax revenue hunting is what it is. They are hunting and setting traps to catch their prey. If they taught the truth in the academy this idiot would never had stopped anyone rushing to a hospital.

[yesudasisgay]

lol

Dallas Cops- the most corrupt police organization in North America

[DeadMemories9]

really? are you serious? it was one stupid thing and it was the cop not the department and its not like dallas has a long running list of stupid shit theyve done this is stupid and the cop is the one to blame not the department

[bullishmarket]

so has this case resolved? or is the police system "investigating" (aka, make sure the public looks away), before sending the officer back on the street?

[WhatsAYak]

Powell resigned before an investigation could be conducted, thus barring him from ever working for the Dallas PD again, though the investigation will still take place.

[bullishmarket]

thanks for the update. individuals like that do not need to walk the street, to harm the public while getting tax money.

[usuck214]

fucking pigs

they're the ones that are really the criminals. taking advantage of the system. pieces of shit

[Keepskatin]

well the cop was heated because it was a pursuit,as the video shows.When those lights go on and you dont pull your car over automatically a cop thinks of it as a criminal pursuit.He should of stop then explained it to the cop,not continue to break traffic laws and not obey the cops lights.They were both in the wrong,but since i dont like cops hope he never is a cop again,nothing personal,i just hate authority.

[UsualStaples]

Honest and objective? Wow I'm impressed, there aren't many people these days willing to do that

[ushouldntjudgeme]

Powell did not believe moats......if he did, it would have been a different story. Powell has a heart, and he was upholding laws that the people put into place, cops get lied to all the time, moats was acting crazy and irrational, we all would like to be calm and collected at all times, but that is not in the cards. Emotions come into play, moats jumps out with an attitude that he is above the law, sorry, that don't cut it, Chief caved into racism, he feared a riot, so he sold out on his own man

[kokawaiii]

Moats mother was dying and the cops said "that doesnt constitute running a red light." LOL i hope that cops family burn alive and someone tell him it doesnt constitute for the doctors saving them

[ushouldntjudgeme]

Wynton25, Funny, but I feel the same way about law breakers....

[Wynton25]

personally i dont really like the police. some policeman just seem shady and take their power for granted

[ushouldntjudgeme]

Why did moats park the Escalade in a spot so that his wife would have to walk, if it was me, I would pull on up to the carport and let her out and go park the car and follow her in later, moats is no gentleman, especially with cop car in tow, he didn't think trouble was brew'in?

[keasha16]

i don't trust cops at all fuck there taking advantage of being a cop they think they can do wat ever the fuck they want cause there cops and i don't know y they let dumbasses to be cops

[playajaydaboss]

im glad he is not on the force anymore!!!! and whoevery feel sorry for this guy can kill they self!!!!!!!!!

[dustydawg42]

Wasn't there another incident where someone ran a red light and killed a USC student and badly injured another? People that drive like they are then only ones on the road should be harshley dealt with. Driver was an idiot jepordizing his family and others life.

[WhatsAYak]

Let's see...Moats had his 4-ways on, stopped @ the red light AND waited until the intersection was clear before running it...I'd hardly call that jeopardizing anyone's life.

[IWatchTheCoolStuff]

I've had to deal with officers around there and I agree with you people that hate the officer in this video. They are just plain retatded

[carbjamesll]

he need to come to the bay we like killing cops out here specially his kind lol

[fogofwar3]

why are retards allowed to be cops?

[BrkCityFG9]

SOME cops are on a power trip, exacerbated by the fact that the driver was black. I see some things may never change! That officer is not fit to be on the force! Get rid of him! He is one day going to unload his cannon into an unarmed party.

[pepjrp]

I'm sorry about the football players Mother and once the officer heard his explanantion, he should have cut the guy a break. But some bloggers are exacerbated by the fact that the Police officer was white. I see some things may also never change.

[BrkCityFG9]

blacks are mistreated over and over by white cops all the time. Don't you think we might be animated a little more when we see this BS happen? I mean, how fucking stupid can you be?

[pepjrp]

No, you are misinformed. Blacks are the ones who commit violent crimes over and over again in all cities. You only think that whites cops mistreat blacks all the time, because of isolated instances like this and dishonest media reporting. This wasn't a race issue either, but you want to make it . That cop would have treated anyone that way, white or black... and I am way smarter than you.

[BrkCityFG9]

I rest my case. Your ignorant comments speak volumes!

[pepjrp]

Maybe in your one-sided court of racial beliefs, but I bet there are quite a few out there who would say the exact same things about your blanket bigoted beliefs about the Police as a whole.

[BrkCityFG9]

People can only comment on what THEY have seen and what they have EXPERIENCED! Racist like you never believe these things because it does not usually happen to you.

[pepjrp]

You do make a good point as I bet most Blacks including you have no idea of the hundreds of Whites annually who are victims of interracial crime with the exception of the Blacks commiting the crime.

[dieudonneMC]

Im Black and was car jacked by whites. Even so, I still don't make stupid assed comments about white people. I know that was the individual himself who committed that crime. Dude, you are butt assed stupid. I can't be any more clear. People like you don't need to be in charge of anything because you are lost in a cloud of racist dung and cannot see anything else. go listen to Rush why don't you!

[pepjrp]

Really, what stupid assed comments did I make? I gave you facts and I'm sorry that it included your people, but generally speaking about who commits the majority of violent crime and who is the majority of the victims of those crimes... I am correct. Check the crime statistics. You don't know me or do you know what racism means. Because I know criminal statistics has no bearing on how I treat people. Go listen to Rev. Wright and enjoy his dung as you can't handle the truth!

[babejmal]

@dieudonneMC Y u lying man....whites dont carjack people!

[linkster9]

put a cap in that cops head

[Good27Now]

I have been stopped by Police Officers in the Dallas area and the first thing the Officers asked "do have an emergency? Once I told the officer that I was late for work and it took him 2 minutes to write me a warning. So this Powell Guy was wrong by wasting 13 important min which to MR Moats meant life and Death. Powell will never be forgiven. Apparently he did not use His common sence like other Officers do, instead he used he Ego, he should be fired and never be allowed to wear his batch!!

[BrkCityFG9]

Well said. Their EGO! I have seen this time and time again over the last 35 years and nothing has changed!

[cowmilky]

@Good27Now You are all retarded, if he killed someone going through the red light his mother in law would not of been the only one dead, there is no excuse for putting everyone else in danger.

[hut98]

@cowmilky aye,,,,,,fuck you.

[cowmilky]

@hut98 Welcome to Walmart, go fu@# yourself!

[devilselbow]

@cowmilky It's possible to safely run a red light. Police do it all the damn time!

[WatWarrior22]

@cowmilky Shut the fuck up, he distinctively said he waited until there was no traffic, the officer could have had some compassion and allowed him in the hospital you dumb ass. Go throw your computer in the shower or something

[DONOFCHRON]

@cowmilky I doubt your views would be the same had it been you recieving a ticket for running a red light, while you are standing outside of a hospital, wishing for nothing more then to go inside and have your last word with your dying mother... you gotta think before you talk man, unless you truely dont give a shit either way...then you should not talk at all.

[juggalotus20]

i dont know if racism is the cause as you can see he tried to stop them before and they kept going i can understand that his mothe in law was dying but he should have stoped and told him the situation

in both ways each party was in the wrong

but is easy to understand each persons oposing arguments

[xavierxxaj]

yes screw tht police officer fuck you u idiot

hes probably racist because he was black and the police officer is white fuck him

[azwan1992]

You know not all police are clever.

[jeflyn1]

This incident can be added up in two words:"COMMON SENSE' which the officer lacked.

[UnitedStatesOfChina]

ryan shouldn't have yelled at the officer. no matter what.

[TheRipp3RPD]

Niggas man....

[playajaydaboss]

fuck that racist white boy he only a cop for the wrong reason 2 bother people he not trying 2 protect and serve .... if he went 2 emergency then wtf u think it was he also had flashing lights.. wat else do u need. i guess u need 2 be white!!!!!!

[pongman]

This cop is too stupid to be a cop. I've had a couple cops stop me for minor traffic violations and they realized that they were minor and gave me a warning. I was honest and straight up with them for my reasons and they both realized that if they were in my shoes they'd do the same thing. It only takes common sense.

[rssesq]

Isnt Powell also the name of one of the pigs who beat Rodney King down?

must be something about that name that makes po white trash think they can do whatever, whenever

[dustedNdisgusted]

Police officers do have a difficult job most times having to deal with the worst of mankind but there is no excuse for Dallas Police Officer Robert Powell's actions.

what a scumbag. I wonder why most people don't like cops?

[USAF73]

This would happen if the NFL were white.yes the cops is a racist assholes. but way give him a reason to get you.

[newex81]

No one can view his Xenga blog anymore, but this is what he posted just 18 days before he got his badge. It's kind of revealing as to his lack of both maturity and professionalism:

"Monday, August 28, 2006

The count downs begin:

18 days of work then the real work starts and I can shoot people

33 days then own apartment, with cable and high speed internet

[PhuckHue2]

fucking dumb backwoods white trash Nazi racist cops. They need to bring charges on that scum and throw him is prison

[WhoRonPaul]

cops have it in for people who think they are above the law.

[yarber63]

most cops think they are above the law!!!

i heard the cop say" i can really screw you over" to me it seems more like a power trip then up holding the law. if it was my mom i would not have stopped the cop would have had to follow me inside.

i think the cop should be sued for mental anguish and so should the dpd!!!

[WhoRonPaul]

i didn't listen closely to the video at first and now you make a good counter point.

[yarber63]

thank you ,

[CivilRadiant]

bullshit that this gets special attention because the guy happens to an NFL player

[StyleGanji]

no......this gets special attention because if shows what assholes some cops are! Cops are to protect and serve, i see a rookie cop that uses his badge and gun for power! Now this cop should have approached it a little different when he knew the NFL players story was true! This cop knew he was wrong!!!! you put yourself in the NFL players shoes.......think about it

[PhuckHue2]

Civil that could have been your mother dying you dumbshit

[yarber63]

what you think this has never happed before???? pple need to know how cops really treat pple. i'm glad it happened to a nfl player and that the story got out maybe something good could come from it. if not then the next time it could be you that hears a cop say "i could really screw you over" when time is wasting away!!

[michina1987]

Fucked up!!! But some cops enjoy being such asses. They should be more considerate, hes on paid leave now, maybe thatll teach him?.

[yarber63]

paid leave what dose that teach him???? i can be an ass to pple and still get paid?

[michina1987]

I should has added more, I didint meant to say that pay leave is OK, he should have been put on absence without pay but then again, those are the rules so we can only wish it was otherwise.

What the policeman did was in no way correct.

[DarknessFalls29]

What an asshole! I understand he was doing his job, but they were already at the hospital! He could have verified that information w/o a problem. Jack ass.

[pepjrp]

You're right, he sure could have and I bet he wishes that he did now. You make an excellent point!

[caveboy0000]

cops are mostly sick psycho maniacs ! :)

[comedyjon]

anonymous internet commenters are mostly ignorant, generalising half-wits.

[KngOf210]

wow thats terrible

[appleflavor101]

fucking fucked up cops really thats really really fucked up fuck the cops man
