Police officers routinely make split second decision that can make the difference between life and death. On March 18th Officer Officer Robert Powell of the Dallas PD witnessed NFL running back Ryan Moats “rolling” through a red light as Moats raced to see his dying mother-in-law. Rather than allowing Moats a final visit, Powell insisted on writing a citation for Moats.
Much outrage followed the incident which led to Officer Powell resigning from the department.
Can and should people unite behind Powell’s resignation, or was Powell forced out of his position by those more sensitive to Moats than to the difficult in-the-moment decisions police officers have to make?
You tell us.
