That Moats situation was just awful. I understand the officer has a job to do, and I can understand pulling a gun out after a chase (albeit short one), but as soon as his wife told the reason for the situation, the dude should've reassessed the situation and realized he should help them. I've had good encounters with cops and bad ones as well, and you kinda gotta look at both sides of the equation, but everybody can tell the cop was wrong on that one. Personally I feel bad for Ryan Moats and his father in law, they missed a chance to say goodbye to his mother in law during her last moments, and nothing said or done will ever take away from that.
