I love racing, I hate putting people in danger for entertainment.

What seems like half the commenters on here: "I would rather nitpick the finest hair of possible disagreement than say maybe as a society we should do a better job of making sure everyone feels safe and secure"

Aside from all the disgusting bootlickers chiming in here to say this kidnapping was just fine and dandy, since she allegedly wrote a fucking tag on a wall somewhere (the horror), how is this even a good tactic for NYPD? If those uniformed bike cops hadn’t intervened to establish some real authority, shit would have…

That doesn’t in any way justify how this ‘arrest’ was played out. You right wing fools scream about 2nd amendment rights (which you only have due to the terrible decision made in Heller where the full text of the 2nd wasn’t considered), but when others rights are refused them you’re ok with it?

That’s fine, send some uniforms around to their house, or send some uniforms over to arrest ‘em. That’s what the uniforms are for.

Here is a crazy idea. If police want to police protests, they must do it in full uniform with full badge number visible if they want to have the privileges that come with being the police. If you want to arrest someone, you get to do it under the scrutiny of the public. If you need to defend yourself with force, you…

Plain clothes, running up and snatching someone without clear establishment of what authority you are representing is not how we as Americans accept an arrest. This person was not a violent extremist or anything that would require a tactic of this level. Nor would would we arrest someone who did meet that level in…

Do you lick the boot or do you also suck on it too? Like whats your technique.

Also, the negative partisanship is the reason we have no empathy anymore...and when you can look at this an be like “cool” then our democracy is fucking dead.

As a transwoman, I find this scary that I could be just mind own business in public, doing nothing wrong and all the suddenly the American KGB show up and take me against my will.

Everyone, I want to encourage you to take this moment, and prove to everyone in the automotive community that Jalopnik readers aren’t a bunch of 7th graders.

This makes me so fucking angry. There is literally enough money to just give a house to almost every single homeless person in this country, but we won’t do that because then they won’t have “earned” it. Nobody should have to “earn” the right to just fucking live in a basic amount of comfort. I’m not saying they need…

When every other modern country has gotten it under control, and we haven’t (and now we’re in the company of Brazil and Russia), you know we fucked up bad. America in its current condition is borderline failed state.

Here’s a free pro tip: everything is political. So are your calls for no discussion of politics.

Be honest, you’re not mad that there’s “politics” on Jalopnik, you’re mad because there’s politics you don’t agree with on Jalopnik.

STFU. And then STFU again. Fucking idiot.

What, exactly, is my agenda?

Empathy? Not wanting to see people die? 

Wow...

the only place for a confederate flag is in the fucking toilet

sweet, cant wait to throw hundreds of billions down the drain on something pointless. No one ever asks how do we pay for this dumb crap but my god if we were to build high speed rail up/down the east and west coasts there would be riots in the streets. 

This shit is why our country is so far behind every other country in general quality of life.
