But Mini drivers: they're all just a little weird

:D

And some would say that the driver's crime was DWB.

Your point is valid, but...As I indicated previously, they're not all douchebags, but literally every single one of the dozens I have met were. I did not come to that state of mind by flipping a coin or consulting the stars--it was the result of over a year of empirical evidence.

I was wondering if/when the race card would get played.

Why must seemingly EVERY situation involving a black person be a race issue?

I hate that. Makes me want to play the fat card.

I can never decide whether to play the jew card or the gay card.


Such a quandry.

I need to know which variant of rummy we're playing before I decide what card to play.

Moats was at fault for the following reasons:

A cop is trying to pull you over, you pull over. If he had stopped right away, he could have told the cop that he had a medical emergency and (depending on the convsersation) might have been cool with the cop. But after a couple of violations, the suspicions run high and the cop is not going to listen. The cop amped up and is thinking: druggie, drunk person, gang banger fleeing from a situation...

Moats could have caused someone else to lose a loved one by driving recklessly. His family is not more important than someone else's.

Moats telling the cop to go look for his insurance and take it out of the envelope or whatever he had it in, is not cool.

Powell is at fault for the following reasons:

Once the nurse from the hospital had confirmed the Moats' story, he should have allowed Moats to go inside. He had Moats waiting until he wrote the ticket out, he could have left it on the windshield.

Powell showed a lack of understanding of this special situation. Yes, he may have heard people saying stuff like this and it turned out to be complete bunk, but you can't automatically act that everyone is lying about what they are doing.

It feels like once Powell got control of the situation and had Moats by the car, he let his position as an officer go to his head. Both men were cocky, but telling someone they could make their lives more difficult just because you can, is also not cool.

Powell is still not apologizing for the incident. I think he should.

No one has Powell's back on this one. The police union, fellow police officers, the police chief... I agree with them and think Powell handled this incident poorly.

(I sent the video to my lil sis and father (both cops) to see what their takes on this situation are.)

Can you call it the Gew card?

While we're on that subject, it's a good thing you never wanted to get into the family business - Cop fired for losing sense of smell
