The power trip was the real problem here. I can see a power trip if the guy was a criminal or had done something illegal besides making a right turn. But in this case the guy pulled into a hospital!
This mans mother-in-law died while the officer chose to be a jerk, make the guy wait even longer, issue him a ticket which he could have simply done afterwards. Let the man see his is mother in law off to death, and then you can give me a ticket.
On top of that, the officer got really rude and started yelling at the guy to shut his mouth and even told Moats that he can "Screw him Over"!!
So acting like an immature brat at times like this is gross misconduct.
And Yes, DitchMD is right, as the public might pull more bias and anger towards public agencies, but there needs to be a proper communication channel and curcumstance for everything.
