    To be fair in Europe and even in the USA people don’t get shot when driving away.

    If you go on YouTube and look at sovereign citizen videos you will see that even in the USA they just chase you down and maybe ram your car. Rough but not being shot for driving away.

    In Germany they would just follow you from a safe distance till you eventually stop then arrest you for fleeing and dangerous driving.

      I’ve watched videos of people getting shot and killed for driving away in the United States. I know you wish that didn’t happen, but it definitely does, multiple times a year, and most of the time the cops don’t face any penalties for their actions.

      If you want to talk about how we wish the police functioned, that would be a neat discussion, but this post is about reality, and not our dreams.

      Cops can also just grab your plates and mail you the inital citation as well as seek further measures for fleeing the scene or whatever.

      Don’t get me wrong acab and the meme made me exhale sharply. But yeah, no one should be getting shot at for driving away from a cop. SHOULD

      lmao, racialized people sure do get shot when they drive away (even sometimes when they don’t).
