It didn’t. Crime had INCREASED in 2021 compared to 2020, because in 2020 the ridership was much lower than in 2021. People went back to work in NYC in 2021, and during the Summer, COVID rates were fairly low.

Therefore, more riders = more crime.

Oh man, I’ll definitely check this out. I have both 2 and 3 (and 7 and 8) and an Oculus Quest. This looks awesome!

Plus it’s a VW. You can likely re-VIN it as a Tiguan or Atlas and no one knows any different. Anyone that does would prolly high five you. I considered it in the early 00’s  with a VW Polo and again with a new Scirocco in 2010. If I VIN it as a Golf, who’s really gonna know enough to care?

Perhaps we didn’t see the full video, but you didn’t even make it to the second sentence of the article?

From my eyes, I see the cop accelerate hard the moment he sees the dirt bike moving. He’s not supposed to pursue unless he saw whoever on that dirt bike commit a forceful felony, which he didn’t.

Here’s the thing though, he’s NOT 100% at fault in the eyes of the law. If he was, he’d be tried as an adult. But he wouldn’t have been because he’s 13 years old. Point blank, the law in Florida says he’s cannot be tried as an adult for any reason in Florida as he’s < 15 (it was 14 but raised earlier this year). His…

The kid filled the tank and paid for the gas. He was at the gas station for at least 5 minutes of that occurred. If this cop was following him, why not pull in while the kid is pumping, or paying? Nah. The cop didn’t see shit. The cop saw the kid take off and blazed through a parking lot with people standing around.…

This claims the kid filled the tank and paid for the gas. If the cop was following him, the kid wouldn’t have had time to do ANY of that. Instead, the kid is done filling the tank and paying. That’s not a 10 second process here, it’s at LEAST 2-3 minutes to accomplish all that.

The department’s policy says the cop shouldn’t have pursued the kid. Full stop. He did anyway. Had the cop not chased, the kid would have sped a block away and then likely slowed it down to a more manageable speed. 

For all we know, the parents had rules in place to do exactly what you said. The problem is that 13 year olds don’t follow rules. They’re 13 years old and make stupid ass decisions. That's part of growing up. Now because some troglodyte C+ student cop ALSO decided to not follow rules, that kid is dead.

I mean, the kid knows he shouldn’t be riding his dirt bike on the street. He sees the cop and dips. I don’t think the cop saw him until he pulled out of the parking lot and the cop decided to speed after him.

Trained adults are supposed to be able to make far better judgement calls than a 13 year old. We all did dumbass shit when we were 13 and were lucky to get out alive. This kid would have except for a knuckle head cop trying to play action hero in a car chase.

Except the cop is almost certainly brazenly lying about what took place. The video here shows the kid sitting at a gas station getting gas when the cop pulls in. The cop claims he “saw the teen “driving recklessly” on Boynton Beach Boulevard. They gave chase, and that’s when the teen crashed the bike into the 800…

5. Write it all off as advertising and get the tax break.

I’m surprised other local dealers aren’t falling over themselves to give the kid a car for their own PR purposes. Even if it’s a low end used Kia, ‘Here kid, use this car until things get sorted out.’ I know things are kinda crazy at the moment with used cars and new cars, but there’s gotta be some car sitting around…

I wish these launchers didn’t obfuscate the games. Especially Epic. Fortnite takes up 89GB on my Mac but you can’t find it anywhere. On my PC, things are a little more straight forward. Xbox launcher does the same thing. Pain in the ass.

Yeah, $1M sounds like nothing. They likely spend more than a million on maintenance at other tracks that they only use once or twice a year.

A friend of mine ended up getting a doctorate in materials science because when he was in high school, there was a tornado. It shattered a window and put a shard of glass through a 3/8" thick piece of steel in the shop area. When he saw it, he wanted to understand how it happened and why.

They caught him. They knew who it was. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t have known he was arrested the prior day for a different car theft.

An empty 20' shipping container weighs more than the payload capacity.
