Vambo Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 https://policetribune.com/riots-looting-erupt-in-dc-after-man-crashes-scooter-and-dies/ The incident occurred at about 10:10 p.m. on Oct. 23 after police saw 20-year-old Karon Hylton driving a Revel electric moped down the sidewalk in the 500-block of Kennedy Street, NW, The Washington Post reported. Hylton was not wearing a helmet, which is illegal, and was also breaking the law by riding the scooter on a sidewalk through the Brightwood Park neighborhood. Police turned on their lights and tried to stop the scooter but Hylton fled, according to the DCist. As he raced away from police, Hylton crossed from the sidewalk into the alley and slammed into a vehicle that was traveling down the 700-block of Kennedy Street, NW, The Washington Post reported. DC police said in a statement that officers performed First Aid at the scene but Hylton died at the hospital, the DCist reported. DC Metropolitan Police Chief Peter Newsham said officers are not allowed to pursue fleeing vehicles but said the department needed to investigate to determine if police were making a traffic stop or in pursuit when Hylton crashed, The Washington Post reported. Protesters gathered in front of the 4th District police station on Tuesday afternoon to protest, and things quickly grew out of control, The Washington Post reported. Violent protesters threw rocks and water bottles at police officers who formed a cordon around the police station after rioters smashed the buildings windows.

D Bone Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Every single person walking this planet - regardless of gender, age, race, religious beliefs, economic standing, or any other differences or traits unique to only them, is responsible for their actions and EVERY SINGLE MOTHER FUCKING THING that happens after that action is taken. ^ Too bad most parents over the last 20 years never taught that simple concept to their children. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
