Ryan Moats incident officer Powell resigns
This is golden. Ofc. Powell of the Ryan Moats incident fame has resigned.
It was the right thing to do under the circumstances, given the negative publicity it has drawn to the Dallas PD.
Look at the quote below and read the statement issued by his lawyer, then see if you agree with my assessment below:
Cop who stopped NFL player in hospital lot resigns - NFL - Yahoo! Sports: "The police officer who pulled out his gun and threatened an NFL player with jail instead of allowing him inside a hospital where his mother-in-law was dying resigned Wednesday.
Officer Robert Powell had been placed on paid leave pending an investigation of the March 18 incident.
‘I made this decision in the hope that my resignation will allow the Dallas Police Department, my fellow officers and the citizens of Dallas to better reflect on this experience, learn from the mistakes made, and move forward,’ Powell said in a statement issued through his attorneys."
It will give everybody else other than him time to reflect and learn from his mistakes. Good that he's taking responsibility and learning himself.
