    Both cops: Fired and sued to the ends of the earth.

    Second cop: Fired, sued to the end of the earth, and prosecuted for negligent manslaughter (impeded the family from getting the woman to medical help).

    Whole thing was ridiculous. Moats was saying"Yes Sir" each time. Seems to me his attitude was fine. Fire the cop, public apology, and he can park wherever he wants to from now on.

    Just watched the video. What a scumbag that cop was. Hope he goes down big time for this.

    I'm usually one that comes to the defense of police officers because they have a tough job, but this guy is a complete asshole. I hope he gets exactly what he deserves.

    The only thing that may save the cop is that he radioed for an ambulance but still, common sense has to kick in at some point.
    Many cops come off like they're smarter than the average bear but that can be further from the truth.

    Who the hell saw Moats roll a red?

    Not that cop.

    I don't see Moats' vehicle until after the guy has driven 70+ mph for more than three minutes.

    The sad thing is, this guy can resign from the Dallas PD and get a job at a suburban department for nearly twice the pay. Dallas gets what it pays for.

    This gets worse. Police confirm officer drew his gun and pointed it at Moats.

    But they dismissed the ticket. Oh, that'll solve everything.

    Cops like these usually got their asses kicked a lot when they were kids.
