No.. No they wouldn't. A white man gets out of that SUV and says what Moats said, that my mother in law is dying, and the cop hustles him inside and worries about the traffic infraction... done at an empty intersection... later.

And the gun came out as acknowledged by the officer himself.

Moats was as polite as can be. You couldn't hear the "yes sirs" and "no sirs" as this surly punk cop was dressing him down? The translation of that is "Yes massah" and "No massah"..

Rationalize it all you want. This was a brazen abuse of authority and came within inches of a hate crime had the cop further misread the situation. This kid should be sitting at a desk the rest of his civil service career.
