Why do we accept this stuff. Why are we not revolting in the streets.

It is Arkansas. They love to PIT. So many YT videos of them doing it that it is just crazy. They even have some favorite cops they love to see PIT someone.
Really hope that her trial will find her not guilty. I’d have a hard time imagining a jury would condemn a teenager for driving her mother to the hospital for an emergency.
I wonder if the mom is okay.
It's a month after the incident and the mother participated in the interview, so I'm guessing she pulled through.
But, jeez. Did they even attempt to signal her to pull over? Really wondering what the dashcam is gonna show.
I am so sick of this shit. We need to stand up together to fix the policing system. But I know that kind of happened a couple of years ago and look at what little it got us.
Policing in this nation is far too corrupt to fix through "traditional" means. Abolition is the only option.
Even the same state.
In the article I linked about that prior incident , note that the driver who was PIT'd did exactly what the arkansas drivers manual said to do. (If challenged I can try digging up the pdf of the manual again, but I assure you it's there.)
I have stronger opinions on this topic than I'm really going to get into here. Suffice to say, we need a change, and there needs to be more of an impact on police than a settlement a year later paid by taxpayers.
The party of death claims another victim. When are people going to stop voting for them?
