[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you want police to be able to chase people in their cars for not wearing a helmet?

They were chasing him because he was a known member of a dangerous gang headed to go shoot someone. [/quote]

Source?  Or just making assumptions like usual[/quote]

so your source is a blog post by some guy? All along the official story was he was being stopped because he wasn't wearing a helmet but now the story is that they "knew" he was head to kill someone?[/quote]

Given the sweeping indictments of the Kennedy St Crew just after this happened, and that Hylton had a weapon and $1000s in cash on him and was high, I’m inclined to believe that Hylton was not a nice young man out for a ride. [/quote]

So what? That doesn't make it ok for the police to chase him in violation of policy, obstruct justice, and engage in conspiracy. If he weren't dead now, he could be prosecuted [for something], but he is dead.[/quote]

It was a terrible policy that has since been rolled back by Bowser. Obviously the obstruction is wrong. But the reason we have a spiked crime rate in DC is in part because of nonsensical policies that limit the police’s ability to target actual criminals. [/quote]

"Obviously the obstruction is wrong. But..."? You're excusing police misbehavior.[/quote]

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

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