Truly Disgraceful....

I need to get this off of my mind and I've talked to my Mom and Lee about it but I guess I feel like if I write it on my blog then my thoughts are out there for everyone to know. And I do want everyone to know that I think what that Dallas Police Officer (Robert Powell) did to Ryan Moats and his family is truly disgraceful! Not only to the Dallas PD but to humanity! I'm so mad at the situation that I don't know how exactly to express my words. This police officer abused his power to keep Ryan and the dying womans own father from getting to see her one last time! I could scream........

Below is part of the conversation exchanged between Moats and the officer:

Moats: "You really want to go through this right now? My mother-in-law is dying. Right now!... I got seconds before she's dying, man!"

Powell: "If my mom was dying, I'd probably be a little upset, too, but when I saw flashing red and blue [lights], I'd stop."

Are you serious? He would be a 'little' upset if his mother were dying?! I hope his mother doesn't take that personally! I hope they fire him. I hope whatever the process is that in the end they decide that he should be terminated.

No human being should ever have the power to decide whether you see your dying relatives one last time!

This makes me sick too. He went to Bishop Lynch HS....where Gary used to coach/teach. Gary has always said what a great guy he is, and then to see him on the news and treated like dirt. It's so sad....the entire situation. I hope that officer is fired too.
