Police Officer Delays Texans RB Moats As Mother-In-Law Dies


First off my homie Jason sent this to me earlier before it blew up all crazy, but I was headed to work at the time and never got the chance to post it.

Anyway, what an asshole! Not only did this guy delay them, but he actually drew his gun on a guy and his family OUTSIDE OF A HOSPITAL over a fuckin' red light. A red light! And its not like he ran the 1st red light after leaving his house, in which case the pig would've had reason to be skeptical about the story, but he ran the last one before the hospital. You can clearly see the entrance of the hospital from the dash cam video! Plus, If somebody runs a red light right outside of a hospital 9.9 times out of 10 its some kind of emergency.

I hate to say it, I really do, but this was clearly racial. Everything about it except the reason he initially stopped them. They ran a red light, you pull them over, that's justified. But when its outside of a hospital and there's obviously a family emergency inside, and you hold them up for 20 minutes AND draw your gun, that's racial. When nurses from the hospital come out to corroborate his story and you still don't believe him, that's racial. When another officer comes and basically tells you what you're doing is obsessive, that's racial. When all this happens and all you get is a paid vacation instead of a pink slip, that's racial.

Now, I consider myself to be very post-racial, but there's no way you can convince me this would've happened if they were white. Not only would there have been no hold up, but even if by some chance there was, you can bet your ass this officer would be umemployed right now. I'm not saying we need to take to the streets with pitchforks and torches, but come on its 2009, can we get some justice??
