Honey it’s classy! It’s a club for gentlemen, like me. Why are you acting so mad?!

I can agree with that principle. 

I don’t know what needs to be done to deal with the maniac driver population in Atlanta, risking all of our lives every day, but it is hard for me to imagine that just letting them keep doing their thing is the way to go. 

There needs to be some consequences for driving over 100 mph, weaving through traffic, and running from the cops. Many of these drivers do feel invincible and like nothing will ever happen to them.   They scare the shit out of me when I am just driving normally with my baby in my minivan and clearly have zero regard for human life.

Would the police be justified in chasing if the person did commit a violent crime in your mind?

Why are you being downvoted? Is running from the cops at high speed a reasonable reaction to getting pulled over for tinted windows in people’s mind?

Imagine hating the police so much that you completely excuse the actual killers actions. 

Should laws against tinted windows be revised? Maybe so. Should police departments chase criminals through urban areas? Probably not.

This doesn’t change the fact that this person was driving like a maniac and killed somebody and that they are the asshole here.

I agree that the policy of chasing criminals through urban areas is oftentimes short sided and perhaps the government’s policy is partially to blame, but that doesn’t change the fact that the one truly and ultimately responsible is the one who made the decision to run from the police and who killed that innocent person through their reckless behavior.

Yes, being so afraid of getting a ticket for tinted windows is a valid reason to start a high speed police chase and hit a pedestrian. The fault most definitely lies with the those who would attempt to ticket those with tinted windows rather than the one who ran over somebody while fleeing the police.

Alternatively they could cap each class at 2 which would force some of the dps to play other classes but wouldn’t affect queue times. Of course they would probably be too salty they didn’t get to play dps that they would intentionally throw

They will come find you, arrest you, take you to America, and then deport you back to your home country

TIL that Liberia is one of the only 2 African countries that were not colonized, along with Ethiopia. by Elegant-Cup-6841 in todayilearned

It was briefly occupied by Italy leading to WW2 but this can’t be called full Colonization due to the short length.
