Cop Quits Over Elderly Man's Traffic Stop That Nearly Killed Him

Grace H - people like you just don't get it. How would the officer know he was trying for emgercy he was driving irraitcialy. usally people call amblaunce they used the excuse they cuoldn't pay for one. cause insurance won't cover it. that not our fault or officer fault that the family fault. did the officer do something wrong of course he did but how the hell could he know someone was dying ???????? please tell me how....

critter171, you sound like a fascist. You're type excuses anything and everything cops do, they get whitewashed all the time. This stuff happens all the time, like the Dallas cop that nearly killed Ryan Moats and his wife because they were rushing to her mother's bedside before she died. He and the woman's grandfather didn't get to say goodbye because of that fascist power-monger cop. And here's another. Cops routinely abuse authority and hurt or kill people and get away with it. Only when it gets publicized do they ever have any accountability. And that's all too rare. If this cop is that much of a coward and a bully, he was in the wrong job to begin with. Cops used to be called peace officers, now it's "law enforcement personnel", sounds like the Gestapo or KGB. Grace H was absolutely right, cops forget, if they ever get it through their heads in the first place, that they work for us, being a "public servant" means you serve the public, we're not their subjects to be beaten, bullied and disrespected like this cretin did. The problem is, Texas jurisdictions don't provide information to other jurisdictions, so this scumbag will likely wind up being a cop somewhere else in Texas and keep acting the same way. He should have been fired instead of being allowed to resign, and I hope these two men sue this guy into the poorhouse.
