Too true: my uncle's stepson was killed by a police car that T-boned his car as it (the cop car) jumped a red light in response to an emergency call (that later turned out to be bogus, as if the story wasn't grim enough). I imagine that the possibility of this happening to them preys very heavily on the minds of police drivers everywhere.
But unless she intentionally hit the child it was an accident on her part. I'm referring to a specific incident, not crashes in general. I thought that would be abundantly clear from the context. I certainly doubt she foresaw or planned on hitting a child.
I live out this way. These aren't local streets like in a city or suburb. It's very rural with houses spaced far apart. Speed limits are 45-55 MPH (70-90 KPH) depending on the road. See for yourself on Street View:
If you slow down to non-lethal speeds for every parallel parked vehicle or obstacle in anticipation of some kid sprinting out from behind it, you might as well walk (not ride a bike, because that problem still exists).
> I don't think it's possible to make a call-blocker app which functions as a whitelist, sadly, because I think this is like their browser content blockers and operates as the app providing a list of blocked numbers for privacy reasons.
There's only 10,000,000,000 phone numbers, not even eliminating area codes that don't exist. I wonder if iOS will break on that...?
The only 24 hour system in the world. That's nothing to sneeze at. Almost no other metro system is even close to the hours NYC pulls. It's sort of unbelievable to me how early metros like Tokyo as just one example close.
It's what "everyone" knows about, moves 5.7 million per week, almost a million per day on average; many who are just visiting NYC have used it.
It hasn't broken down too many times, and is reliable enough that many New Yorkers don't own a car (which IMHO is the gold standard for trust in a public transit system).
No, that's sick. Civilized states like New York don't execute people, only the federal government can do so here (in an arguable violation of the "states' rights" that Republicans hold so dearly).
I'm sorry we can disagree then, but if somebody ran over and killed one of my loved ones and seven other innocent people purely because they despise American's, I'd want the death penalty for that person.
You can want it, and say it, but not on Twitter and that was the point. He probably got temp banned for violating their Code of Conduct in regards to Hateful Conduct.
