Dude was going 70 in a 65 while traffic was at a stop

What the fuck.

This hurts my heart. Poor kid. Goddamned cops.

Protect and serve, right?

What we needed was protect and swerve!

Fucking cops

[–] bluestribute@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Since he's a cop that means no charges right? Just a child with life altering injuries?

[–] Alto@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago

A cop? Not following the law? How could this be?!

so he in his Tahoe and a dude in a Nissan are driving like idiots together, probably in a road rage.. Tahoe wrecks 2 cars directly and cripples the girl.. the Nissan also wrecks and flips and lands on its roof..

She's still being so upbeat about it. She's a strong kid who doesn't deserve this at all.

No info about suing the cop? I would try to get a massive payout to make the life of my child at the very least stress free of financial hardship.

And all they're going to do is look into if disciplinary actions are required. If.
