That is so fucked up!
This is America
Don't catch you slippin' now
I’m so tired of Enforcers choosing the most expensive option for the taxpayers.
Yeah, who in their right mind would cross a six lane interstate highway? He was playing Frogger with his life.
Look, not even getting into the cause of his death, it's extremely fucked up that they didn't attempt to contact family of the deceased after he died, and even covered it up and had it from his mother after she approached them for information.
You can say it was his own fault all you want, but that changes nothing about how atrocious they handled the whole thing.
I agree with you. I hate cops as much as the next person. Just pointing out that this guy could be nominated for a Darwin Award. It’s hard to blame any driver in this situation.
And if the article were about that, you might have a point. But it’s not. It’s about how the police gave this poor woman the runaround instead of letting her know what happened to her son. And you know that. But you wanted attention and to be edgy. Well, congrats. You got the attention you wanted.
How edgy of you.
