I understand the cop probably felt like he was just doing his job, and that he probably became aggrevated because Moats was fairly emotional himself, but common sense should have taken over sooner. There was no reason for the cop to hold him for 15 minutes, or to threaten to arrest him and have his car towed when it was obvious that the man just needed to get into the hospital ASAP.

And I thought the cop was only 25. Towards the end of the video he says "I've had one chase in 3 years," or something like that.

As I stated before he could have handled it differently I'm sure. When you were young, how many times were you faced with a situation, handled it, and reflected back and wished you handled it differently or felt you could have done something differently to get a better outcome? It's all about experience. Personal experiences in life make people learn. If he has not had an experience like that before he might not know any better. Please don't think cops have the answer to everything, it's just they are expected to have the answer to everything. They have to come up with the best answer they can find for the moment. That officer failed on that day. It doesn't mean he isn't a good officer. Police are human too and to human is error. It happens. unfortunatly in the cop world I'm sure to error is a compounded problem.
