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.

Steve I have white friends that have had thier asses kicked by young cops for less than this guy did in Saratoga no less.. Personally I have been treated in a similar fashion in Louisville. I am not defending the cop in any way but just saying that a lot of 25 year old cops act in this manner.
