Don’t get upset. It was an honest mistake. It could happen to anyone.

A police representative announced over a speaker that it was an unlawful
assembly, and at 9:30 p.m. gave the group a 10-minute warning to disperse.

Five minutes later, the crowd was given another warning to leave before a loud boom went off and people took off running. Some of the crowd remained.

If you’re driving a WRX/STi, you can get where you’re going a little faster.

Chickenshit stops lead to big drug busts in Oregon. I’m sure it happens elsewhere, as well. If the cops want to pull you over, they’ll find PC.

These days, the tailgaters are a potential menace, in terms of road rage. If you’re in a school zone or construction zone, they don’t give a s***. They’re selfish.

“””Two trips to the stop and go jail in the last 4 months, resulting in being out on bail and not showing up for court appearance so he knew he had a no bail bench warrant for his arrest.

Almost always the same story, someone who should have been behind bars decides to run using a vehicle surrounded by cops and it’s called ‘defenseless man’ or ‘unarmed man’ as they’re looting the Nike & cell phone stores”””


Yup, another case of a criminal resisting arrest. IIRC, Duante was released with ZERO bond following his arrest for armed robbery in Feb 2021.

The female cop appears to be black..how will the commie media use that narrative

She'll be given a job as a United pilot.

Anyway, this will stop the riots in a heartbeat. Down the memory hole.

Was he shot while he was in the car, or before he got into the car?

He was in the car, but this was clearly negligent homicide. 'Did I shoot him?' is something a cop should never ask.

Back problems are the #1 reason for medical retirement. It took me out at 25 years. I was shooting for 28.
