You drink, You drive, You rear end another car, You dont speak english, You smell like alcohol, You cant stand up straight, You cant walk a straight line, You go to jail!!!


Monday, August 28, 2006

The count downs begin:

18 days of work then the real work starts and I can shoot people
---------------


Looks like he was a rotten apple even back then. So what language one speaks or doesn't speak is a determining factor in getting sent to jail????

His myspace...set to private but thanks his "supporters" and is waiting for this most recent actions to "blow over"

Blessed With Two Beautiful Children All I can do is HOLD MY HEAD UP HIGH n wait for this to blow over.Thanks to everyone that standing behind me n helping me get through this.Love U Honey!!!!

3. Drinking and driving, yep, that makes sense, mostly I am sure that is policy
in the department, why? Standard

After that.. this due needs to be out of the force... period

7. Grammatically, isn't he basically saying that if you drive, you go to jail?
He doesn't say "You drink and drive," he says "You drink, you drive..."

9. My fave..complaining that someone doesn't speak English
and while doing so, NOT capitalizing the word "English" in the sentence in which you do the complaining.

10. Yeah, makes you afraid he wouldn't recognize someone who actually was speaking English.
No one is safe!

All I can say is Ryan Moats is a lot better human being than I could ever hope to be. So is his father-in-law. How anyone could sit in a car listening to that asshole fill his own ego while their daughter was dying a few feet away and not take a tire iron to the cop, I don't know. I doubt I could have done it.

15. Of course he did. It was an SUV full of BLACK PEOPLE!
And one of them was big! You know how scary that was. He was probably trembling in all his whiteness.

4. Has he heard the disgust that other cops are directing at him?
The police chief could barely control his anger at one point, and seemed mystified that the dude was still defending himself.

It will blow over, in the sense that Bubba will find a new line of work. Probably as a FOX anchor, given their record.

11. Or, he's the new
Joe the Plumber. The old worn has gotten a little shopworn, so maybe some fresh blood would liven up the GOPigs. After all, the douche is all law and order and like that. GOPigs love law and order, don't they? And busting African-Americans?

Yeah, he's got a real future, I think ............

17. Very few cops are like this piece of shit
Unfortunately because of the degree of authority they've been given, a very few is all it takes.

Mr Powell obviously wanted to become a police officer for all the wring reasons.

18. I think Bethany broke up with him
Either that, or he was cheating on her with Sheli. But, you know old Rob. He doesn't kiss and tell. :rofl:

If life is fair, this dude is going to end up on the wrong side of the bars @ Loose Hysterics.

Edited on Fri Mar-27-09 01:35 AM by rainbow4321
Someone listed the sites but no one offered up the entries...so so I did...also put them at the DMN comment section.


On edit: Looks like he realized his past comments have been dug up...he shut down his Xanga site tonight. Too late, guy....

That fucker must have been bombarded with hostile friend requests (or whatever the MySpace lexicon is...). Plus, his lawyers got to him.

23. I guess by his spelling you could say he's a Moran!!!
Saturday, October 14, 2006


When the security starts to recognize you and knows your name, its just sad. Went to jail another 3 days in a row. I also made my youngest arrest this week one was 17 and her friend was 18, 17 still in high school, and 18 goes to Brookhaven. I did have to fight a lady a little yesturday, lucky for her she didnt start until after the cuffs were on, cause then she would have more than just a little pain around the rists. But it was hard because her 7 year old daughter was near by and had to watch, and we didnt like that at all. I wrote a few more tickets, nothing good like passing a bus, but I did get to drive with a releif trainer. I like to drive fast. I also got to work my first accident. One was a Mustang, and the other a Kia Rio. The girl in the Kia was cute, but a bit young. I even got to hold traffic back in the car as I got in position to start working. Thats about all, I should study the blue book so I can impress the trainer.



Good find, rainbow4321

30. Apparently his wife posted this on HER myspace per a local radio show
The link also has an interview with the driver.

And wifey seems to be ignoring the ACTUAL VIDEO of the event and is blaming the MEDIA for "fucking" up their lives.....


http://www.1053thefan.com/pages/4090798.php

Updated: Officer Robert Powell and his wife have updated their MySpace pages in response to the intense criticism from this story.

Robert Powell - "All I can do is HOLD MY HEAD UP HIGH n wait for this to blow over.Thanks to everyone that standing behind me n helping me get through this.Love U Honey!!!!"

Wife Jody Powell - "I f***ing hate the media....they love to f***ing screw peoples lives up. Honey I Love U n things will get better. F*** anyone that believes the media"
---------------
Googling shows the cop and his wife were registered at a few baby registries, including Toys R Us. Baby boy was due in November.

34. Froom the looks of it...he did Xanga before myspace took over
and just never went back to delete his Xanga account UNTIL his blog entries surfaced last night...then he went and closed the Xanga account. The Xanga account was kept thru 2006, back when he was graduating from the Police Academy.

35. This guy seems to enjoy driving fast, ordering people around, carrying a gun...
...and pointing it at people.

Maybe he can take his dream job in the driver's seat of a Hummer in Iraq after the DPD shitcans him.
