NFL player not allowed to go into hospital while relative died, cop keeps him outside: THOUGHTS?

[barman]

Running of red lights is a very dangerous act.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

I'm sure that you - like I - have many times driven through a red light once you have clearly seen there is no conflicting traffic in any direction.

I've got a left turn lane around the corner from our house that I routinely run - especially when I can see that there's no cops within my rear sight lines. It's one of those ones that doesn't allow an unprotected green. So to not run it can mean sitting at the intersection for up to three or four minutes with very few oncoming cars. Screw that.

Some of you need to get your heads checked. Loonies.

i dont want protection from them. i'll take care of it myself. i'm a grown man, i can defend myself. don't need to call 911 and wait for someone. if someone comes in, i only call 911 to get rid of the dead man in my house.

bs gtc, if someone flashed a nerf dart gun in your direction you'd pee your pants

 

[ElTaino]

Fuckin anyone with a high school diploma can be a cop. That don't say much.

i have friends that went to usc and lb state who are cops and fireman. whats your point? its not about education. its about common sense, compassion and a mentality of wanting to HELP people. im sure tons of people on this forum never finished college, you just offended ALL of them. stop being an elitist

Then you shoulda kept reading the rest of this thread.

Dunno who your friends. But like yourself I have several friends from both So Cal and up here who are cops. I can tell you right now, COMPASSION and WANTING TO HELP PEOPLE were never the reason.

 

[ElTaino]

I take my statemnt back.

just read this, my bad.

POWER!

im saying that's what they should have (COMPASSION and WANTING TO HELP PEOPLE)

Moats didnt handle the situation well by screaming like that & cops do have a tough job b/c you just never know.

But this cop is clearly an ignorant, racist power abuser and should be fired. Once the hospital staffers came out to inform the cop of the situation he still wouldnt let Moats go & even wrote him a ticket while his mother in law passed away! That is totally f'd up. He should be shit canned immediately.

We havent heard the last of this story. I just hope it doesnt cause riots, etc...... in that area.

 

[barman]

Not a chance of riots

Plano is easily one of the most whitebread suburban communities in Dallas County (actually "Collin County", but it's one big sprawl these days)

a tough guy amongst us. Stupid post. What that officer did is dumb. To generalize all police officers is dumb.

 

[Presto]

If you blatantly break the law, as this suspect apparently did, you need to have your paper work in order at the very least. No excuse for a guy making that kind of bank to not have his insurance in order.

This reminded me of 1:43, but its all good.

ENF: When a cop puts on a uniform and gets into a police car they are a target.

B: For 99.5% of police, that's simply not true.

EF:Any routine traffic stop can turn violent in an instant and it has nothing to do with location.

B: An incredibly tiny percentage of traffic stops 'turn violent'. Odds are easily thousands to one.

EF: Car crash - you're injured and could be dying from internal injuries or whatever. These guys get there and perhaps perform CPR or whatever.

B: They're not putting their life on the line to perform CPR on a car crash victim.

EF: Fire - burned my neighbor's house a few months ago. First to respond was a policeman. I'm not confused about anything.

B: The policeman ran into your neighbor's burning house and saved someone from death?

1) Cop in a uniform is more of a target to criminals than any normal person going to work and that's a fact that can't be disputed.

2) Odds of a traffic stop turning violent are low however it can happen anytime, anyday and that's the point. Cops are in harm's way every single day. That's the point of this entire discussion and this can't be disputed.

3) They're not putting their life on the line to save you from a burning car or speeding to secure the scene? Uh, ok.

4) No they did not and that wasn't the point. You tried to mock me with your firemen comment and the point is that policemen do respond to fires and sometimes arrive before the firemen and given the opportunity to save a life they will.

Dont mean to get off topic here...but don't you live with your mom?

I seen a guy on a weekend, last summer, shopping at Walmart with his family. He was he wearing a flak vest. A lady asked him why, and he said he was a cop reassigned to narcotics, and he had to wear it all the time. He said all this for 37k a year.

 

[whalewager]

Barman. You say the stupidest shit. Can we get wvu back?

 

[gtc08]

no, don't live with my parents. have no idea why that is stated since i've never mentioned my living status before.

don't get upset because of my stance on cops and try to feel like your insulting me with saying stupid stuff like i live with my mom.

stand by what i said. cops are trash, and if you are relying on them to save your ass good luck.

shit like this makes my blood boil. i googled him and found 2 possible matches. dial both numbers and see ask if he is a police officer...if he says yes just start belittling him. what a cocksucker.

[barman]

ENF insists: 1) Cop in a uniform is more of a target to criminals than any normal person going to work and that's a fact that can't be disputed.

B: Nonsense. If that were the case, a relatively high percentage of assaults and homicides would be directed at police officers vs civilians.

In fact, it's a miniscule ratio when comparing violence against civilians vs violence against police.

Any "criminal" is far more interested in accosting a civilian than they are in trying to take on a police officer. Don't even be so foolish as to pretend otherwise.

It's reasonable to stand by your submission - "most cops are hard working and honest" without being so fanciful as to suggest that more than a few of them face any notable physical or life-threatening risk on a daily basis.
