Apparently, if you’re of a certain racial demographic, you are allowed to commit whatever moving violation you want, and it’s the police’s fault if you kill yourself attempting to flee
Protests erupt in Washington following fatal moped crash
12 officers have been injured after the second consecutive night of violent demonstrations in front of a Washington D.C. police station.
Protests broke out on Wednesday night after a vigil for 20-year-old Karon Hylton Brown, who died while trying to evade the police. Demonstrators at the protest threw rocks, bricks and fireworks at officers. They have blamed police for the death of Hylton-Brown.
Authorities initially tried to stop the 20-year-old for not wearing a helmet while riding a moped-scooter, when he fled and collided with another vehicle.
“They need to check their officers,†stated Charles Brown, Hylton-Brown’s father. “When they’re doing something that’s messed up out here, they ain’t gotta do it on the streets so we can see it, but when they get back to the precinct right here they need to tell them…. ‘hey look, that was messed up what you did out there.’â€
The mayor has thrown the police under the bus, because, apparently, police are not supposed to follow when someone is attempting to evade the police on the roads. Or, you know, people could just take the traffic stop like a responsible citizen. They might have only warned Karon for ….. violating the rules of the road and not wearing a helmet, a measure designed to protect the rider for serious harm.

Now, that link in the excerpt goes to a CNN article (bear with me)
Hylton was driving a Revel scooter on the sidewalk without a helmet on Friday, prompting police officers to turn on their emergency lights and attempt to make a traffic stop, according to a news release from the Metropolitan Police Department. As Hylton exited an alley, his moped crashed into another vehicle, the department said.
So, he was illegally on the sidewalk without a helmet, both illegal, and the cops simply turned on their lights to make a routine traffic stop. Hylton took off down an alley, apparently without the police in hot pursuit (it’s a moped, people), and crashed because of what would be consider felony evasion. If there was more to blame the cops, CNN would be offering it, right?
Why is it always Biden voters who get all sorts of violent?
