I saw this story yesterday and unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to post anything about it. But it’s seriously one of the most ridiculous incidents I’ve read about in some time.

Texans’ running back Ryan Moats was rushing to get his wife to a Dallas area hospital so she could see her dying mother before she passed. On the way there, Moats ran a red light and was eventually detained by a police officer in the hospital parking lot.

Here’s the video of the story:

Absolutely ridiculous. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Ridiculous!

Look, I understand police officers don’t have the easiest jobs in the world and drivers no doubt probably hand them every excuse in the book as to why they sped or ran a red light or whatever. But it’s clear that Moats was in the hospital parking lot, he wasn’t trying to evade the officer or do anything illegal and the cop still had the gall to detain him. Even the freaking nurses and hospital security were trying to help and still the officer played hard ass.

Not to get all philosophical on a sports blog or anything, but nothing really matters in the end. We’re all going to check out at some point and once that happens, speeding tickets, bad grades and everything else just won’t matter. Moats’ mother-in-law was losing her life and this officer kept him from properly saying goodbye. It’s a sad story and while I applaud the Dallas Police Department for holding a press conference and apologizing, I shutter to think that there are cops out there like this undeniable ass clown, who would do something as stupid so heartless.
