Re: Ryan Moats and the DPD
I saw the apology issued by the head of the police department. He hit the nail on the head, there's an element of common sense that you can't train for. Some people just don't make good cops. The whole shut your mouth, I can make your life difficult thing is blatant abuse of authority. This guy pulled his gun, on Ryan Moats' wife! I realize police officers risk their lives on a daily basis, but it's a high risk fear-factor job. Firefighter is also a high risk job, soldier in Iraq is a high risk job, crane operator, test pilot, quarterback in the NFL, etc.
I don't think the police officer should be fired, but he should definitely be taken off the streets. Before he kills someone unarmed.
