What a #$*@! of a cop!

Wow, I didn't read all of these posts. But that cop is not being right. Telling him to shut his mouth. Why can't he just let them go visit the dying woman and THEN give him the stupid ticket? I mean, yes he disobeyed the traffic laws, but come on!!!

I have heard of cases where the cop pulls someone over in a similar situation and they gave them a police escort to the hospital. I think it was a woman about to give birth or something like that. So of course there are good cops out there.

In the video the woman that comes to the car says it's his father and he says he's dying. So that's a little weird. When Ryan said it was his mother-in-law. And even after he's told that he still doesn't let him go into the hospital!! The family probably just had a nurse come out and tell the cop that.

OMG!!! At the end of the video (after he was done writing the ticket) he said - if you would have just told me what was going on we could have avoided this. I probably would have let you go.
Um....I believe he was told SEVERAL times what was going on. I mean, seriously!!!

Yes your so correct about not enough good stories of Cops doing a good job.. I also was so so saddened when I heard of the 4 Gents Officers that lost their lives to that killer.. SO Horrible... Now I will state if you watch the video real close you will see that the guy in the car started mouthing first without slowly explaining himself.. The Officer did state that if the Gent in the car just have been calm & explained himself then all of the mouthing would not have gotten so heated up..

Like Caseysmom said - he was excited and stressed. He DID tell him, in fact he yelled it several times. And so did the woman who first got out of the car. She tried explaining to him and the cop just kept saying - get back!!! Not listening to her at all.

Point is even after someone else came and told him what was going on (a few different people) he still didn't let him go!
Ok, I need to stop now. I'm getting too angry and there's nothing I can do about it anyway. LOL

I live in a suburb of Dallas....I heard he issued an apology today, but I haven't heard it.. I personally think he should lose his job because I honestly don't think he believed he did anything wrong...They had one of his immediate supervisors on the news last night, I think, and he said the cop just kept telling him he felt he did everything right...THAT thinking is very SCARY! About the video...a security guard and a nurse came out and told the officer that the woman was about to die....The man needed to be with wife in what was probably the most difficult moment of her life, and he couldn't because of some overbearing officer. There are bad apples in every profession, and unfortunately, this man got the Dallas Police Dept's. best bad apple!!

I saw on the news today that the cop has resigned and publicly apologized for his actions. I'm not litigious but I can say unequivocally that if that had been done to me, if my loved one wanted me there as she took her last breath and was probably afraid, and I was kept from being at her side, I would sue and sue big. To deny this person to be w/her daughter and son-in-law as she left this life is criminal, IMO, and should be treated as such.
