Why are the police getting into Fast & Furious chases for fucking non violent crimes?
post
I see some folks discussing the role cops had in this awful situation, whether chasing or not chasing could have prevented the death of the little boy. I'd like to draw attention to another idea, though - the idea that this could have been prevented at the root. Why was a 21-year-old trying to rob a house? If she's struggling for money, then we need stronger supports so that people like her aren't placed in a position of needing to commit a burglary to stay afloat. If she has some kind of mental struggle, then she needed mental health support, therapy, etc. If she did it just because she's 21 and thought it'd be fun, why does she think that way? What need or lack was she trying to remedy by doing a crime?
The whole system is corrupted through and through. Let's consider how we can build new and better systems so that police aren't needed in the first place.
I don't get it, USA has flock, helicopter and probably drones to chase a car from a safe distance and arrest them when it's safe yet they chose to do these reckless chases?
It’s fun for them.
Is this an argument supporting flock cameras and police drones?
Can't wait for all the media reports on how dangerous e-bikes are and calls from our leaders to ban them.
Collisions during car chases is the #1 way that law enforcement officers die in the line of duty.
Turns out it's not bank robbers with Tommy guns.
Fuck her
And the cops. There was no need to engage in a high speed chase here.
Fuck the police. They know or should know this could happen.
Lmfao the cops didn't hit the kid, it was the stupid theiving bitch. Hope she lives a fucking life of misery. Being she's in LA she'll end up on the street. THAT'S WHY WE THROW SHIT AT THESE DISGUSTING HOMELESS WASTE. THEY ARE EVIL
The police created the situation by chasing her. Yeah she has the direct responsibility but our institutions should be held to a higher standard than random individuals. A lot of PDs are now creating policies to not do high speed chases for this exact reason. But I guess either LAPD doesn't have such a policy or they didn't follow it.
So I say fuck 'em both.
Also dehumanizing the homeless is evil. This person wasn't even homeless so I have no idea why you even brought that up. I guess some prejudice is too strong to confine just to relevant circumstances.

Americans need to be resocialized and pulled back from the medieval times
Edit: why do these people delete their comments? Why not stay behind this large opinion?
Yep. They're mechanized horse riding barbarians.
I am sure they sided with the cops or the lady right?
They called out for the lady to be executed by the state.
Why is that a bad thing? She viciously killed a child and kept driving. Oh that's right, you protect predators. Keep living on your high horse. 😂😂
See you don't know anything about the woman, its not like she murdered the kid. It was an accident induced by the police chase even though they have high tech bullshit to follow up on her.
Its not up to the judge to just fucking kill a person, most of the time there are some underlying psychological or in this case maybe systemic issues that can be solved. Resocialising the people and turning them into active tax payers makes more sense in the long run.
The accident was induced by the police? NO THE ACCIDENT WAS INDUCED BY HER FLEEING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WITH TOTAL DISREGARD FOR SAFETY. AFTER SHE HIT THE KID SHE DRAGGED HIS BODY AND KEPT ON GOING LIKE A FUCKING DEMON!
SO YEA I'LL POST A FUCKING COMMENT THAT SHE SHOULD BE KILLED. FUCKING EVIL PEOPLE
If she would not have been chased through the street with a car but instead tracked otherwise, she would have probably not flewn through the streets herself.
In the end there was no psychological evaluation either. What happens when an american hero, a fucking war vet gets a trauma induced psychosis, cops want to take him in, he chases off, the same thing happens. Are you saying they should put him to death instead of treating him?
I fucking live in this SHITHOLE COUNTRY USA. People drive cars recklessly around me and my kid all the time. If somebody hits my kid I will kill them. I don't give a fuck if they are a war vet or a 16 year old. They are dead. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A FUCKING CAR DOESN'T MEAN YOU GET TO KILL FOR YOUR OWN SELFISH REASONS WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES. FUCK THAT BULLSHIT AND FUCK CARS AND FUCK PEOPLE KILLING KIDS WITH THEIR CARS. MAYBE IF WE KILLED DRIVERS RIGHT AWAY THEY WOULDN'T BE SUCH RECKLESS FUCKS. BUT NO WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DRIVE LIKE ABSOLUTE MORONS. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THEY DESERVE TO DRIVE 100mph on a street full of kids. FUCK THAT
Does calling the cops ever result in a net gain for everyone involved?
And this will absolutely result in both pundits and pearl clutchers blaming the e-bike and screeching for more regulation and bans on them. I'm just calling this right now.
