The Dallas police officer Robert Powell, who was so hard-hearted to not let Ryan Moats go up into a hospital room where his mother-in-law was dying, has resigned from the police force.
I don't think he did this on his own, but I think the police force decided to take him out of the picture. Here's what he had to say.
“With a heavy heart and great sadness, I resigned from the Dallas Police Department this morning,” Powell said in a statement. “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.
“I still hope to speak with the Moats family to personally express my deep regret, sympathy, and to apologize for my poor judgment and unprofessional conduct. I also want to apologize to my fellow officers. I have sincere respect and admiration for the men and women of the Dallas Police Department and the work they perform daily, and I wish them well.”
He needs to sit down and have a talk with himself. I'm slow to criticize police officers because it's a nearly impossible job. They have to walk into life-threatening situations and make cool head decisions.
We need to give these guys medals for working in some of these cities, where the crime rate is so high.
Yet and still, they have to realize that they're there to protect and serve. You can't do the job with a chip on your shoulder.
I don't have the instincts of a seasoned police officer but I could one and two together when I see a car with its light flashing and it's stopping at stop lights before easing through them on the way to a hospital.
It seems to me that officer Powell has a chip on his shoulder and he could wind up creating more problems than he is solving..
