And Moats never said to the cop "Hey man, I play for the Houston Texans, back up off of me" I gotta respect him for that.

The Idiot Has Resigned!
AP – This video frame grab taken from a police dashboard camera shows NFL player Ryan Moats outside Baylor …

DALLAS – A Dallas police officer who detained an NFL player in a hospital parking lot while the player's mother-in-law was dying inside has resigned.

An attorney for Officer Robert Powell said Powell resigned Wednesday over the March 18 incident in which he drew his gun and threatened Houston Texans running back Ryan Moats.

Powell stopped Moats' SUV in the Plano parking lot after the vehicle rolled through a red light. Moats' wife, Tamishia, and other relatives were also in the car.

Moats' mother-in-law died while Powell was ticketing and lecturing him. Powell later issued an apology, which Moats accepted.

The resignation was first reported by Dallas-Fort Worth television station KTVT.

The fact that he pulled into a Hospital parking lot should have given the cop a clue as to what was going on. People are looking for this oficer all over the Internet. Evidently he is/was on Myspace and a few other web sites.
.......

" Interestingly there are other Robert Powell's with Facebook and Myspace pages and they're being inundated with messages.

One Robert Powell posted on his wall "I am not the cop who pulled over Ryan Moats in Dallas…

so please stop sending me msgs about how much you hate me .. I'M NOT HIM !"

As if you needed another example of how this story has struck a cord with people and how high

emotions really are.

In the quest for information, Brian Cuban, a blogger, has uploaded what he said is a cached

version of Powell's Xanga site before it was taken down.

It's quite clear, North Texans want to hear from this young officer and they're looking for

him all over the Internet. "

ps... the vid plays fine on this end.

This is disturbing. Just plain disturbing. At such a moment of trauma to have an agent of the Devil..I mean, agent of the 'law' do something so inhumane...smh. This just makes me sick. The law of what goes around will undoubtedly visit this bigot, if he lives that long.

What a shame.

The video is not playing but I saw this and it was very stupid of that cop. He should be fired,....no questions asked. Fired...fired...fired. If he thought he was not telling the truth all he had to do was follow him. Anyway who's gonna lie about someone dying ?
