      And ofc the cops won’t say how fast they were going.

      If you’re gonna be a cop and engage in behavior that endangers others, you better be able to own up to it.

          Because it’s what real adults do. Otherwise they’re simply announcing they’re spoiled bratty children who were never taught what responsibility means.
