What are you seeking to find out exactly?

Not PP, but it is certainly reasonable to want to know who killed three people despite a well-documented history of reckless driving.

What business of it is yours to know who they are? Are you a racist?

They are not actually interested in knowing, because they could find out with a couple phone calls. What they want is for the media to report it so that they can guffaw about it online in vaguely racists ways with other people.

"At a community meeting held Tuesday night at the Turkey Thicket Recreation Center across the street from the scene of the shooting, Blake's family and neighbors asked the MPD leader designated to answer questions why they have not arrested the shooter or released his name."

"In the days after a man fatally shot 13-year-old Karon Blake, claiming he had seen the youth breaking into vehicles on Quincy Street in Northeast Washington, internet sleuths went to work trying to learn a key detail withheld by police: the identity of the shooter."

It's racist to be angry when three people are senselessly killed.

At this point, the woke mob has no rhyme or reason for anything they advocate. Black teen out at 4 am breaking into cars -- we must know the killer's identity and we need public hearings to express our outrage! Innocent black uber driver and two passengers -- eh, we don't care who the killer is.

It’s public business to know whether the new city council implemented policy of not taking away drivers licenses from dangerous drivers out of “fairness” is negatively affecting public safety. This driver had thousands of unpaid speeding tickets. But somehow it’s “equitable” for the entire city that poor people get special privileges to just drive crazy and cause accidents. I’d like to know the name and background of the speeder. Is that so hard to understand? It’s nice to have some metrics and quantifiable data to back this obviously reckless city led policy. Is it making the city less safe? Yes.

Its shocking that anyone could think its racist to want to know the identity of the reckless driver. They killed three people. They're in custody. What were they charged with? We have an interest in knowing who they were and what their punishment was. "Call the Park Police" is a joke response, they are infamous for their lack of transparency (and brutality)

Or the outcome of the reckless driver by the Oakton school who ran down two young girls about a year ago.

An obsessive fixation on"equity" is so 2020. If the Dems don't realize that public safety concerns trump that, well then, we'll get Trump again.

I consider myself a progressive liberal but I think letting people get away with speeding, reckless driving, accidents, public safety danger has NOTHING to do with equity. Anyone who thinks it does is a dipshit who has no business being anywhere near public policy. People get away with that kind of behavior is inexcusable and points to complete dysfunction and ineptitude, not policy.

An actual Progressive: 1) doesn’t call themselves a “liberal”, and 2) understands that the criminal justice industrial complex literally relies on pew enforcement interactions with POC under the guise of “traffic law enforcement” to sustain raw material (people under arrest) for this industry to function.

You’re just a pathetic trump-troll.

Busted.

Isn't it outrageous if they're not in custody? They killed three people. Or they're off the hook since the police shouldn't have been chasing them in the first place? I don't understand this at all.

How is it "equitable" that the killer of 3 hard working immigrants, one a black father from Africa and 2 Latino men walk FREE? Isn't it RACIST to think that those men and their families do not deserve JUSTICE?

Park Police did not chase when the driver fled the stop.

It's outrageous that we don't know whether they are or are not in custody.

It's tough to get data from USAO but Park Police are next level.
