I don't like this flag, and I don't like those torn-up flag stickers that seem to come standard on every Dodge Ram. The US flag means something, and real patriots wouldn't desecrate it just to try and make some political point or advance some culture war.
I've looked for info but I can't find whether she miscarried the baby or not, but I had a friend in a car accident at 20 mph and she lost her baby. Even small accidents like that can easily cause a miscarriage. The fact that this guy chose to PIT her into the barricade just because she wouldn't stop fast enough for him is inexcusable.
Cops serve such an essential role in our society that if they're not being constantly scrutinized and held to the highest standard then they are free to break not only the laws that they're supposed to serve, but the trust from the communities they're in.
The "Warrior" culture in policing needs to stop, too many innocent people are getting hurt and too many people (guilty or innocent) are being executed in the street rather than standing trial. There is no 'Us vs Them', at the end of the day it's just us.

FYI: If you're a "good cop" and you aren't arresting/reporting "bad cops" then you're also a bad cop (and a criminal accessory). Hence ACAB.

Did they know she was pregnant? Did she run from them? Lots of unanswered factors. PIT manoeuvres should be last resort next to spike strips

As soon as she saw the lights she put on her blinker, then her hazards while she looked for a place to pull over according to AR law.

The man who killed the Capitol cop during the insurrection wore that insignia so the meaning is very confusing to me.

ikr? It's almost like they don't actually car about police unless it advances their culture war ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

probably a good way to get shot by some who thinks guns are toys.

Yeah. Still funny though.
