I hope they try the cop as a low-income person of color
They’ll prolly just blame it on the victim and get a slap on the wrist.

you mean like they did for Jaahnavi Kandula?
asshole lost his job, like any other fuck up. no justice though.
There wasn’t any reason to be driving like that, they were literally in the middle lane meant for cars to turn.
and what was a guy on a skateboard doing in that lane?
Crossing the street.
Jaywalking is barely a crime and it’s bootlicking behavior to actually blame the kid imo. Let’s say it was a drunk driver instead of a cop (important to mention that what he was doing was waaaay against protocol), would you really be blaming the pedestrian?
Fact is the cop was driving like if he was in Forza and caused the situation.
Fun fact:
“Jaywalking” as a crime was specifically invented to put the onus on pedestrians for pedestrian collisions.
Fuck qualified immunity
Qualified Immunity is illegal according to the law as written and passed, not as illegally amended. The 1982 SCOTUS was handed the wrong text, as no one had compared the Congressional Record to the Federal Register yet.
RachelI saw the video on Reddit and everyone was blaming the person hit for being in the road not in a designated crossing.
Even though the cop was speeding like crazy though a curve weaving though lanes. The guy was In the middle part of the road meant for turning vehicles only, way was the cop speeding in that lane anyway, he could have easily rear ended a car trying to turn.
alot of those video subs are owned by LEO, or former leo which heavily astroturfs those subs.
😈MedicPig🐷BabySaver😈Driver’s lane was clear, didn’t even have a reason to be driving in the wrong lane
To be fair, it’s usually safer for pedestrians when a speeding vehicle is further to the left/in the center turning lane. But there wasn’t much reason for the cop to speed in the first place…
infinitesunriseIn NYC there is a standing rule against cops giving chase in their vehicles, because statistics show cop chases are a large contributor to deaths, injuries, and property damage.
They commonly flaunted the rule under Eric Adams (Himself a cop), predictably resulting in more carnage. Hopefully the Mamdani administration reigns them back in.
