which these people didn’t do.
According to the cops. jfc.
But it’s hyperbole. Kids in cities can get around alone just fine. And my 7 y/o goes to friends houses across a street and the through backyards.
It it really hyperbole though? Kids in the city are generally murdered by cars more than anything else. And if you have to cut through backyards to avoid death, that's not really an optimal situation there. Personally I don't care about trespassing at all, but people could literally shoot kids for this in shithole USA.
if they were at all at fault
The driver is always at fault. They're choosing to use a deadly machine in public. It's their responsibility not to kill people.
the child ran onto the road ... according to the police
You gotta be a child to believe the police.
makes me question the police department’s objectivity, to put it mildly.
Ofc cops lie about everything.
If you ~~read~~ believe the story
Give me an effing break.
USA is the premiere shithole country.
edit: It's kind of amazing how many people in here take NBC quoting cops as fact. The cops' tale is obviously bullshit as usual. They're just reciting whatever the old man said. Ofc he thinks the kid just jumped in front of him. The old coot probably had no idea what was even happening: "I was just driving along when this colored boy jumped under my truck...." Cops are like, "Yes, sir, we understand. It happens all the time. Best we can do is lock up the parents." ---> NBC.
edit2: Seriously tho, I feel bad for the driver too. This is a good example of how car dependency is not good for the elderly. Let's get that driver out of a car and onto a train. Ok I gotta get on with my life...
That "recap post" from you looks alot more like you attacking tankies than vice versa.
Allegedly because I ain’t got the time to manually verify that myself.
Crucial footnote.
We can see votes from individual users because votes to federate across instances, (like if you, on lemmy.world, were to vote on my instance, lemmy.dbzer0). Someone spun up three entire instances and mass created dozens of accounts on each, just to mass downvote.
So where can we see this?

Better question: Was the old fart not aware there were children under his murder vehicle?
