What a fucking clickbait headline. The cops didn’t kill anybody… a poor 50-year-old woman was just driving home when someone who had stolen a truck drove into her and killed her. What the fuck is wrong with the media
For that matter, did you even look at the article before you posted it to this??
Did you?
Police chased the truck to the area of Little Blue Parkway and Bundschu Road. Officers terminated the pursuit when they realized the truck was heading north in the southbound lanes, Buck said. Moments later, the truck hit the Dodge Avenger Sharon Ault was driving on her way home. Authorities pronounced her dead at the scene.
Yeah, they can’t chase a car going in the wrong direction, risking the lives of countless people. This dude killed that lady not the cops. I hate cops too but this is ridiculous. This headline is click bait. Period. What should they have done? Have multiple cars going the wrong direction?? It even says it happened moments after he went the wrong way, they didn’t even have time to shut the road down.
What should they have done?
Not chased a fleeing vehicle, over something so trivial as missing plates.
No stolen truck is worth the danger of a high-speed pursuit, and in this case, a woman’s life.
Yeah just let them go after committing grand theft auto. I’m sure it was just a mistake and he will turn himself in out of guilt.
Drones and helos exist…they could just follow them with one of those and pick them up that way. It’s not a hard concept to see these high speed chases are super dangerous.
A bonus factoid that I’d earlier missed, from another article:
An initial news release to the media did not specify that the crash was preceded by a police chase.
Pigs all think they can drive like in the movies though they have no training for it. They have no respect for the lives of citizenry and face no liability for their actions. They are not worth what they cost.
