Baltimore Cop vs kid

[FRPLG]

What a piece of crap. Big man with a badge.

[Daseal]

Wow, people are actually defending this douche bag? Are there cool cops, yes. Without a doubt there are some great cops out there, a majority are probably good guys. However, you have to admit that many of the folks in that position use it as a power trip.

Should you respect police officers? Absolutely. However, the cop needs to also respect the suspect. He's a complete dick, and thinks he earned some sort of automatic respect? If you're going to disrespect me, you don't deserve my respect in return. I don't care if who you are.

That kid should have given up his board? For what? The cop harassed the hell out of him, and I wish a citizen would have gone in and set his ass straight. We wonder why kids sit inside all day now? Because of shit like this.

This man is an absolute douche bag, and if I were the parents of the kid I would be looking to press charges to in the very least, get him fired.

That dude has definitely had one banana too many shoved up his tailpipe. I really don't expect much better from a probable Ravens fan. You know, come to think of it, he seems very relaxed for an Orioles fan.

What's wrong with being an O's fan? There are many of us that are not from B-More. The Nats did not exist when several of us were growing up. In fact at every Skins game you can hear the "O's" chant during the National Anthem...come to think of it that does drive me nuts. Not all O's fans are bad though. Cut us some slack, but I concur that Ravens fans are bad, they are almost as bad as Philly fans.

Another example of how cops are usually just ape-like turds running on power trips. Yay for law enforcement! This is why everyone loves you guys some much.

Either a power trip or racism, or both.

I have to agree with you on this one. I can see why he pulled him over and I can see why when people jumped out he pulled his gun (remember a cop has to treat everyone as a threat). At some point he sould have realized that they where telling the truth and let them go. Heck, if he followed them into the hospital just to check that would have been fine.

The problem is that they stopped at the Hospital ER. At the point where he entered the Hospital parking lot his mind should have realized, "hey maybe they have an emergency"

Seriously. Way too many of them come off like meathead bullies. I mean, they're pulled over in a hospital parking lot with their hazards on, and Moats' wife is crying that her mother is about to die. What the hell does he think is going on? This cop deserves a kick in the nuts and a lengthy, unpaid suspension.

“If you want to keep this going, I’ll just put you in handcuffs, and I’ll take you to jail for running a red light. . . . Understand what I can do. I can tow your truck. I can charge you with fleeing. I can make your night very difficult.”

What a douchebag power trip.

I'm pretty sure that cop's from Dundalk

[CRedskinsRule]

Ought to lose his job, that simple, at the point they pulled into the hospital grounds, his attitude should have changed from protection to assisting. If he doesn't understand what it means to protect and serve then he ought not be entrusted with the job regardless of motivation.

[Hog1]

he may be wrapped a little tight to "serve and protect"?????
I think the public may be better served and protected by the incarceration of officer Riviere'.

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.

Update: Officer that harassed Moats resigns.
