NFL Player exposes (God Complex Cop) and the cop resigns.

[chainsaw]

The player that was going to say goodbye to his mom before
she died, and was not allowed by a cocky, racist, God Complex cop
resigns.  Officer Powell resigned to keep his coworkers from getting harrassed.
He said, and this cop looked like a rookie punk.

They don't build cops like they used too.

Are you going to ask the LVPD to all resign for taking you down , Paul Bunyan?

If the NFL would have just cooperated and stopped arguing with the cop it would have gone a lot quicker and he would have been able to spend the last few moments with his loved one.

He shouldn't have ran the light.

[240 is Back]

He shouldn't have ran the light.

i think we all would have run the light.

your wife is hysterical in the passenger seat and her mom is dying at that very moment.

no cars are coming, you stop and look both ways and you're 20 seconds from the hospital.

They should train them better, and yes, a cop spitting in my face is assault.  He will be fired.

Sure. Right. Beat cops are well known for their tact and people skills.

+100% agree.

[drkaje]

Rubbing the light is an invitation for the cop to be an asshole.

The cop was well within his right to stop this guy when he violated the law.  However, most reasonable people would have let this guy go and then follow him to the hospital.  Thats the right thing to do.  I think it was bad decision by the officer....but what if the guy was lying?  I mean, its turns out he wasn't...but how many people come up with BS excuses when cops pull them over?  It happens to cops every day.

Even if we think the cop overstepped his bounds, No way in hell should this young cop be forced to resign, thats completely unfair.  I think we have the benefit of hindsight here.  If the mother-in-law didn't die, this wouldn't be a story.

The NFL guy wasn't lying.The Mother did die.

The pig was gun weilding freak. He did everyone a favor by quiting, before he killed somebody for not wearing their seat belt.

Cops need to be reasonable. There are always circumstances.  All the cop needed to do was go to the hospital with him, especially when he can see the situation.  You DO NOT get these type of excuses all o the time, in fact, very rare.

Unfortunately, this cop blew it, and picked the wrong person to screw with.  And the cop forgot it was being taped.

The cop resigned, he apoligized and the stress of the job got to him.

[swilkins1984]

A guy rushing to the hospital doesn't sound like an emergency at all.  I hope more piece of sh*t cops are fired in the future.

[bodybuildermdpitt]

Why would anybody want to be a cop?

I have always wondered how life would be without cops?

good, bad, I don't know...

Ok Tommy...but we have the benefit of hindsight here.  The cop did not know if the story was true or as dire as they made it seem...and even if the cop believed him, he would then choose to allow the law to be broken because of a greater emotional issue, which is fine.  I already said that the cop should have let the NFL player go, and we all know cops can sometimes be assh-les but I don't think the cop should have been pushed out of the force for this incident alone.  If this was one of many examples of this cop pushing his weight around, then glad he's gone.  Thats not what was reported.
Also, what in particular made this incident racist?  Did the cop use racial terms?  (I may have missed that part if so)

[benchthis]

we pay there salary.. they are to protect and serve they seem to forget there place
