Cop Charged With Killing Cyclist Was Watching Transphobic YouTube Video At The Wheel
The Vermont sergeant was driving 40 mph in a 35 zone at 2:40 AM, and didn't hit his brakes until 85 feet after he hit the cyclist
I had a friend who became a cop a decade ago. I started noticing that he'd be on his phone while driving even while off duty. He shrugged it off as something like, "oh, I'm just so used to doing it on the job." We're not friends anymore.
Slap on the wrist incoming!
MAGA runs on hate, gotta fuel up.
How hard is it to just be a decent person???
It's the most difficult thing in the entire world, but the most rewarding. Not just for you, but literally everyone around you.
Some folk stop caring and chalk it up to being old or some other tired excuse.
I don't find it difficult to not use my phone while driving, tbh I find it difficult to try to multitask or use my phone while driving, I just can't do it.
Fuck cops!
Holy shit, I was not expecting a jalopnik article to go that hard, nor was I expecting the comments to be so """woke""". I'm gonna need to read jalopnik more often.
Jalopnik has surprised me before with how good they were. They somehow manage to be car guys without the toxic bullshit normally associated with it.
Wait that's a car website‽ Based as hell
The number of times I've seen cops distracted driving as a cyclist, I'm not surprised.
Police should be subject to the same laws the rest of us are. Distracted driving is distracted driving. It's dangerous in every case, be it a work laptop or a phone.
We need to deal with people using their phone while driving much more harshly.
So distracted by hating trans people. Put him in prison. These fascists need no leniency.
