    This exact, particular death was a direct fucking result. It has nothing to do with some fantasy land theories, it’s simply the truth that this particular person would have not been hit by the officer. Could something else have happened also bad? Literally an impossible question to answer and an equally moronic question to ask. We are not talking in whataboutisms, this is a literal cause and effect of a particular incident that could have been avoided. But nah let’s play fucking butterfly effect.

      She wasn’t hit by the officer though, she was hit by the fleeing stolen truck.

        You’re engaging in nitpickery, but yes, this wreck was a stolen truck crashing into an innocent woman’s vehicle, not a police car crashing into an innocent woman’s vehicle. You are correct, but she is still dead.

        The driver of the stolen vehicle went the wrong way on the freeway, to elude cops that were chasing him, over a crime of no significance compared to a person’s life.

          I don’t think its nitpicky to correct someone who said that the women had been hit by the officer.
