[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand the civil unrest after the George Floyd murder and the cops firing upon protestors at Lafayette.  I think it was justified.  I showed up to support.  But [b]I just don't get the outrage[/b] over the guy with the 2-page long rap sheet on DC Courts who decided that, rather than accepting being stopped by police when doing dumb traffic infractions, decides instead to run into a car and kill himself.   I'm white, and I've been stopped on a moped when I did dumb stuff.  The cop car even followed me because I refused to pull over immediately in a bike lane and found a safe place to park to talk to the cop.  My husband was pulled over on a bicycle.  I guess we should just run and sue next time.  I'm sure his family will sue and we'll get to foot the bill for that in addition to all the OT and destruction.[/quote]

How does it help public safety when the police, in police cars, chase someone through the streets of DC for being on a moped on the sidewalk without a helmet?

Do you live in DC? Do you feel safer knowing that the police violate their own procedures on car chases on your streets?[/quote]

Yes, I live in NE DC.  I also don't support the no chase policy.  I also don't care if the people fleeing a legitimate stop run into traffic.  Do not care at all.  I wish the police would do more traffic infraction enforcement.[/quote]
