As a dad i would have been in jail for murdering a deputy.
Didn’t some private citizen just get sentenced to like 25 years in prison for hitting a mother and child? And this guy just gets nothing? I get they aren’t the same case, no idea how badly hurt these kids are, but the mother and child were killed in the store I’m referencing, and that private citizen was doing over 100mph… But that went to trial and the 25 years was middle of the road sentencing for the charges brought. This guy doesn’t even have charges brought? Does he even get his license suspended? I assume not without charges…
They getting qualified immunity while off the clock now too, wtf?
sounds about white
will not face criminal consequences
Fuck off, he hit two kids in a crosswalk with his car. What the fuck kind of justice is that?
White justice
Also, the law is selectively applied if you hadn’t noticed. Gotta keep the plebeians in line and keep the bootlickers loyal enough. Easier to keep this one on the job than to find another to do the elite’s bidding.
He wasn’t even turning into the right lane.
What? You expect a cop to know traffic laws???
America. “Welp, it was an accident”.
As I say to stupid shit like this all the time, no it’s not normal here, that’s why there’s a news story about it.
We’re lucky we got a story about it. It’s because there was clear video evidence. The police are fucking notorious for sweeping stuff like this under the rug.
John Oliver talks about several instances with and without bodycam footage that they try to hide. And, again, those are just some of the cases we know about.

Your trust in media is misplaced. Following that logic, genocide is normal, hence why we don’t get many stories on what’s actually going on.
Just think of Alex Pretti and Nicole Good. We know, not because of the police or media, but because bystanders had clead evidence to push the media to actually do their jobs for once.
Further case in point is how little we’ve heard about ICE recently. Because they’re still out in force. But I suppose because the violence and rogue law enforcement is “normal” we don’t need to report on it anymore, huh?

1984 is a very relevant read right now.
Every year there are 2,430 regular season MLB games played. Every one of them has, at minimum, at least one news story about it.
Remember bastards are part of the in group with fascists. They are protected by the law but not bound by it.
Im just surprised he didnt shoot her
cars have more rights than humans in the us, it is absolutely fucked how anti human our world is.
Why taught my kids that whole pedestrians have right away is bullshit. The amount people especially kids walk out into the street in front of cars is to goddamn high. Even if it is the law. You stop and let the cars pass. Just how taught my kids.
But regardless this former cop should be hanging from a tree.
IMO stopping and letting the car pass isn’t always correct either. If you have doubts about whether a driver sees you then for sure wait, but waiting regardless of whether you’re seen/acknowledged can cause confusion and potential issues as well. My main strategy is to be predictable and defensive: it should always be obvious where I’m headed, and I should always make aggressive eye contact both to be seen and assess the driver awareness.
That’s probably more of an older elementary school distinction for kids though, toddler age is definitely just ‘don’t walk into the street without an adult’.
Absolutely always make sure to make eye contact with the driver. Why I wave at driver when I am a pedestrian. Always make sure they see me and also most times still let them go by. Just never want risk walking in front of a car here if I can help it. Most asshole here doesn’t follow road laws.
Any person in reality realizes cars have the physical right away that is for sure. People that tempt fate as such a fucking stupid and or assholes.
I just told my kids the cemetery is full of people who had the right away.
I’m sorry but send that cop to fucking CECOT, holy shit
Assuming the kids were with their mother I’m amazed the cop survived. Do NOT fuck with mother hen.
TIL there’s a place called Jersey Shore in PA.
And it’s nowhere near New Jersey, nor the shore.
