Misbehavior, lying, and obstruction isn’t murdering someone. Just because low IQ, emotional jury rules that way doesn’t mean it is the honest to God truth. Juries have put many innocent men behind bars over the years. |

Truly Bowser threw him under the bus. Although he may have violated the letter of the pursuit policy, it was a completely untenable policy that she later walked back. |

| “ Court records show Hylton-Brown had frequent brushes with law enforcement, starting with a citation in 2017 for driving without a permit and continuing with a number of misdemeanor crimes in the years that followed. In February 2019, police requested that he be barred from two blocks in Brightwood–just down the street from where he died–”due to his repeat drug arrests at the location.” It’s not clear if the ban was granted (he was sentenced to six months of probation in that case), but the request shows that MPD was in regular contact with Hylton-Brown, and that officers patrolling the area may have been familiar with him.” |

No, however second-degree murder is murder. For people who claim to support law and order, they sure don't seem to have a lot of respect for law. |

The law here made little sense. As a DC resident I don’t understand how there could be a policy of just letting criminals run away. Certainly it sounds much more like a gray area than murder. Ultimately it was *Hylton’s* decision to ride recklessly and not stop for police. That is what was the cause of his death. |

In your honest view, should obstruction result in a prison sentence of up to 60 years, the period he is facing per the article? |

The moped company is also gone from DC.

No, but second degree murder, obstruction, and conspiracy are supposed to, and those are the crimes he was convicted of. |

I have no idea how you all expect the police to do their jobs. Should they send a cease and desist letters to criminals? That’s just about the only modality left to them after all the “legislating” by amongst other, certifiable lunatics and sworn proponents of defunding the police on the Council. The cops knew the guy, had the information on what he was going to do. If they later lied and obstructed, 60 years in prison is why. It’s not possible to do your job within these rules. |

Lawfully. Don't you? |

Second degree murder is typically murder with malicious intent but not premeditated. How exactly did the officer have malicious intent that is provable beyond a reasonable doubt? In my mind, there is certainly a reasonable doubt that he was not exercising malicious intent, but rather was trying to apprehend a subject. To go a step further, in my mind there is certainly a reasonable doubt that this was even a grossly reckless killing as the the officer was driving at 30mph. Please explain why you all believe that this was second degree murder in detail so we can have a good faith discussion. Repeating that it was second degree murder “just cause” or because jurors found that it was isn’t helpful in convincing the opposing side. |

I am going to guess that you have in the past and will in the future not take the same view as to other criminals, and other crimes. |
