Oh my god you’re right and I’m disgusted

The cops’ report noted that she “struck him in the arm against his will”.

I am absolutely fucking disgusted by this weasely use of language

This article is really trying for an eye-rolling kind of tone while at the same time, literally just being an advertisement for new Apple products.

my public highschool library did not feature any religious texts, the regular library has plenty though.

there shouldn’t be a fucking bible in a school library anyway, that’s so bonkers. is there also a torah and a quran? BET FUCKING NOT.

bottom line, sober or not, evasion is not reason enough to kill someone.

i don’t think anyone should run from the police, provided the system is working the way it should. but i also don’t think police should put themselves in front of an evading vehicle either. that’s needless danger, and any force used with that danger as justification is needless force.

in this case, unless she’s in a stolen car there’s no way the cops couldn’t find her basically immediately after this crime. obviously for violent/dangerous criminals the approach should be different, but for shoplifting? are we serious here?

this many officers being dispatched for fucking shoplifting is already a waste of resources, are we gonna die on the hill that it’s totally fine for police to facilitate the escalation of that into death? there’s so many ways this coulda gone that aren’t death, and if cops can’t figure that out then they need more training at the very least.

i mean no disrespect by the way, you’re making your points very well and i appreciate the discourse.

oh don’t get me wrong, she’s certainly not blameless. she did all those things while pregnant as well, putting both her and her unborn child at risk.

i just feel like the cops could’ve recognized it was escalating and not allowed it to become a life or death situation. and i don’t think it’s unrealistic to expect something like that from a keeper of the peace.

edit: fetus is probably better in place of unborn child, i’m not trying to make a lowkey pro life statement

I don’t understand why the cops couldn’t just arrest her at home. They would’ve had positive identification, AND footage of her committing another crime by fleeing the scene. This was escalated into a life or death situation, and I can’t honestly say that’s entirely her fault.

System76 can sell you a computer with PopOS or Ubuntu installed straight from the factory!

just kidding asshole, hands in the air this is a sting!

last time I was on a delta flight they unbelievably had those thick, heavy, foodservice style coffee cups. in a perfect world this wouldn’t have happened, but in a just-slightly-better-than-ours world, this dumb fuck spent most of those 9 hours doctoring a concussion.

imo solid tabletops are much better for pizza making. i’ve worked at a few places and in practice those pans get ACTUALLY cleaned much less often than a regular ass table does.
