This is why I support car free pedestrian streets in urban and highly populated areas.

      American infrastructure makes it so one has to depend on the car for everything. Doctors appointment, out of milk, want to take your dog the dog park? Get in the car.

      Community it also dead, so others aren’t going to step in and help out, probably not even his family.

      I’m not implying that justifies anything, but incidents like this are be expected in the USA - ride or die (why not both?!)

      these officers would probably shoot a kid in the head with a shotgun on livestream and then say they see no signs of a gunshot wound.

      No shit scares the fuck out of me. I work for USSA insurance company the amount of 80 years they insure who can’t even remember their fucking own birthday much less should be still driving are to goddamn high.

      But dealers still will take their money and they will call me trying to add a new car and we spend 20 minutes of 30 second procedure trying to Authenticate these people. How fuck are they allowed to still be driving on the roads?
