"The crash was a grim reminder of the dangers posed by police pursuits."

Nothing much said about the perpetrators, of course.

I heard this pursuit going on several blocks away. It seemed from the noise that there were many police cruisers involved.

Funny way to honor Martin Luther King. In almost every city that street is a magnet for crime.

The crash happened outside the Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute, the biomedical research arm of Children's Hospital Oakland, which is located several blocks away.

What in the heck does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

Great comment on the story. In response to someone who said “it starts with a gun”.

“No, it does not.”

“It starts with people who lack morals and self-discipline, and lack respect for their own life and the lives of others. It starts with people who worship themselves.”

Well, even if they weren’t murderers before, they’re murderers now. The reporters sure went to a lot of effort throwing around facts that had nothing to do with the case, trying to turn it into an anti-police story, and even they ended up having to give up.

I still call ‘Martin Luther King Jr. Way’: Grove Street.

The old curmudgeon...
