David Kunkle needs to fire Robert Powell

Dallas Police Chief David Kunkle offered a public apology today to Ryan and Tamisha Moats, after Dallas Police Officer Robert Powell had pulled them over for deliberately running a red light to get to see Ms. Moats’ deathbed-dying mother at Baylor-Plano.

Powell even brandished, to use that clichéd media word, his service pistol at the two, after threatening that he could “screw over” Moats. And, it’s all on his police cruiser videotape. Meanwhile the two Moatses continually are telling him they’re trying to get to Tamisha’s mom before she dies, and had been alerted by the hospital. It’s not until Baylor security came down that Powell let Ryan Moats.

BUT.. that’s not all.

Here’s why Powell needs to be fired:

AFTER seeing the video, here was his take;

“My understanding is that Officer Powell, even when he saw the videotape, believed he had not acted inappropriately," Kunkle said.

If he’s that redneck, police nazi, or whatever, get rid of him.

Nice creepy tattoo he has on his MySpace page.

Update: Powell has self-terminated.
