[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is NOT true that the tragic death of a man from Guinea was caused by a police chase. It occurred at the time of (frankly regrettable) no chase policy (yet another pro-criminal DC Council measure). It was caused by a hit and run by a criminal who drove off from an attempted stop by a stationary police. You liar. [/quote]

JFC. The title of the article is literally “man killed in DC police chase”. Frankly, I think the reporter that wrote the article and the MPD leadership that decided to refer the case to internal affairs for investigation know a little bit more than you. And why you are accusing other people of lying, you gaslighting nutbag?[/quote]

Literally, read the article. Criminal killed him, wasn’t being chased. Had he been chased the guy might have still been alive.

Is this the same leadership that let their two officers be imprisoned for the 2020 chase for 5 years each? In that chase, which led to the no chase policy because DC Council jumped on the populist horse, another criminal tragically crashed himself on a scooter without a helmet.

History won’t be kind. Give me a break. I’m done with your corrupt Council people and so is most of DC. We just need to find a way to separate your whiteknuckled grip from the city purse. By any means necessary [/quote]

The article is scant on facts. Because the facts are this had nothing to do with the police. But the family won’t get a payout from yet another coddled criminal who escaped because the police has been shackled. So have to blame the police and the city to get the payout. [/quote]

So now you’ve dreamed up a wide-ranging conspiracy involving an NBC reporter, MPD internal affairs, USAO, and the victim’s family - who live in Guinea, no less - just to avoid having to admit that it was stupid to claim that no one had been killed by a chase in DC.[/quote]

Let’s review the facts.

1. As the WaPo says: “The city has struggled in recent years to balance the need for traffic enforcement with concerns about racial inequities and physical peril in how it is done. In 2022, after two men died during police chases, D.C. made it illegal for officers to pursue a car unless the fleeing suspect poses an immediate threat and death or serious bodily injury is not a likely result. D.C. police began doing far less enforcement, citing “mixed messages” from officials and the pursuit legislation. Traffic deaths went up, and residents complained that dangerous drivers were being allowed to repeatedly flout the law. Earlier this year, in response to spiking crime, the law was amended to allow chases in cases of an “imminent” threat, even if the suspect is put at risk. In August, the D.C. police formed a small unit dedicated to traffic enforcement.”

2. A car fled a police stop. Police pursued by all accounts safely under the modified policy. Then the offender turned left, sped up, hit the person on moped and run. The person was a young man who tragically died. He was the 8th moped death and nearly 50th traffic death YTD.

3. From that you read an incendiary deadline, and concluded that police chasing is killing innocents all over the DC. Why did you conclude that? It’s causal — if police chase criminals, criminals will eventually cause damage? If police don’t chase criminals, this will also happen? You could have also concluded, the victim was an illegal immigrant, shouldn’t have been in the US, and it wasn’t would most likely be alive — is the border agent who let him in without the correct papers who caused the death?

This is absurd and tragic. Police should absolutely chase criminals and put them away. When enough are put away for long enough for fleeing a stop, they’ll stop fleeing stops. In today’s DC their every incentive is to flee. Defunded MPD can’t chase, doesn’t have resources to find them, and then they’re let back out in minutes.

Your DC is a whiner-dreamt up
dystopia. [/quote]
