Cop who stopped NFL player in hospital lot resigns

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.

[fed up with the mess]

Maybe police work is not for him. Nothing wrong with that. This man said he was sorry and that says a lot. I truly believe he is sorry and he should be forgiven.

[Damn You]

Wow, If only all police officers that were A**holes would resign.

[Sarah]

Wonder if this had happened to one of us ordinary people types would this cop have been reprimanded and forced to resign?

[scuter pie]

ask the mother in law of the nfl player if she forgives him for depriving her of seeing her son in law before she died - if she gives him i will

[Now THATS Funny]

Yeah, being a law enforcement official is not for everyone.

Too many people have control issues.

I think he was wise to resign, this would have haunted his career forever.

....and that's NOT funny.

I hope he gets a job with the Border Patrol! I think he could help contain the feral Mexican.

Forgiveness should not be something you give to follow the crowd. WHy does this cop need forgiveness from you or anyone other than the people he affected anyways? Jeez.

The disgusting, political abandonment of this officer by his chief will result in drug runners escaping from the police by simply putting on their flashers and going into the closest hospital.

Moats lied on television at least twice concerning the incident and this should have spoken a lot louder.

If you can't forgive someone then don't expect CHRIST to forgive you. Shut up dummy!!!

Sadly I think the officer's resignation has EVERYTHING to do with the detained person being a celebrity.

The only honorable thing to do. He was wrong and he knows it.

[overtaxed]

The bigger story is how Moats behaved with class, and did not use his position OR try to play the race card, and HE DID NOT WHINE OR COMPLAIN.
Instead of thugs and gangsters (rappers or not), the black community should regard Moats as an icon and role model.

I BELIVE IT WAS THE RIGHT THING FOR HIM TO DO . HE WAS NOT IN THE RIGHT JOB POSTION . NFL PLAYER OR MAN IN THE STREET IN WAS TREATED LIKE NO ONE SHOULD HAVE BEEN .. YET HE KEPT HIS COOL THE WHOLE TIME . GOD BLESS HIM FOR THAT. I AM SORRY FOR HIS LOSS . AND ALSO FOR THE OFFICER'S LOSS ..

[DavidH64]

ok let's see the guy broke the law. and it was his mother-in-law, not his mother.

sorry but think his resigning was a chicken-shyte move. he should not have resigned.

MOTHER-IN-LAW, not MOTHER. so what?!!? who cares about her forgiveness. OMFG! the cop should not have resigned.

[LeeMedic]

A sad story, and too bad it had to end in this manner. Good law enforcement officers are needed, and with counseling and additional training, maybe he could of kept his job and provide a good service to the community.

[Chilled Out]

This is good news. Now if only all cops would resign.
