I should’ve stopped reading the first time Erin offered excuses for criminal behavior. But I kept reading and found more of it.

Pretty sure the ACLU changed its stance on bodycams when this was attempted because the cameras proved people are shit. I wish all recorded interactions were released immediately. Because the victim card is bullshit. 

So body-cam footage of this rescue by officers is officially released within 24hours but body-cam footage of officers breaking the law takes 18months and/or an act of congress to make it out?

That’s true of NOVA, but the rest of the state is south.

I’d be shocked if it wasn’t a Range Rover or Denali/Escalade.

Sad that people died here but the police aren’t the responsible party here for it. Here we have someone who was identified as a violent car-jacker, it makes absolute sense for police to make their capture a priority. For the other occupants in the vehicle, there’s a reason why that saying “be careful of the company…

This one is personal to me, my Aunt died from a high speed pursuit around a decade ago in Columbus OH. Police gave chase through neighborhoods after having a license plate and knowing the driver/passenger.

They’ll get slapped with felony murder because the prosecutor will argue the death occurred as a result of the felony in progress. It’s the same way people get charged with murder when the cop shooting at them kills a bystander.

Im not anti-pursuit. These fucks held up a woman at gunpoint. They are dangerous and need to be locked away from society.

Better headline: “Alleged gang member kills pedestrian in street-racing crash”

Are the carjackers now looking at potential felony murder charges?

NIMBYs always rely on a connection to a general problem to in order to block a specific development. Parking is an important factor in cities, so you can’t trivially brush away objections to new housing based on parking, and if you do get down in the details to rebut their claims, you’re still fighting on their terms.

I am, to my shame, a 2-time loser. And as such, I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that no system exists outside of full automation that can keep drunks from driving while also not screwing over normal, rational drivers at the same time.

Stop victim blaming someone who was killed by a negligent driver. Jesus christ.

Riding a bike on a 60mph road seems like asking for trouble to me, assuming the photo at the end is of that stretch of road. But the article makes no mention of the speed limit, the driver’s speed, the position of the bikers on the road (shoulder or middle of the lane), or the characteristics of the road (was is a…

Right?! The democrat party leadership and the majority of media expect two senators to make a vote that directly contradicts the wishes of the people they were elected to represent. In what world would that action even begin to make sense? If anything, their decision not to vote for hastily thrown together bills that…

4th gear: Both of them would’ve been done and dusted long ago if not for the fact that Republicans can’t be bothered to lift a finger to help America and two Senate Democrats are using the occasion to go on extended ego trips.

“It’s really too bad that Toyota is now experiencing the consequences of its own actions.”

Hm...
