What was his right hand doing? Why was only one hand on the wheel?\nThe officer on the radio sounds panicked...why for a carjacking?

A newspaper in Florida investigated cops speeding (2012):\n\n"almost 800 cops drove above 90 mph in a 13-month period [...] Officers exceeding the speed limit in FL have caused at least 320 crashes and 19 deaths since 2004"\n\nIt's a rampant problem, they just get a slap on the wrist

it said they were under five year in service, but you shouldn't even be in service until you're trained to be able to care for those in danger.

Probably shouldn\u2019t be traveling at those speeds on a residential street regardless of training

Idc if it's high speed chase or not cops just need to let ppl go in these situations. You're only making the situation more dangerous going 80 in a 40 zonehttps://twitter.com/lawcrimenews/status/1478468334710628353\u00a0\u2026

At some point we need to seriously consider when it's appropriate for police to speed through traffic and intersections like this. Car jackings are property crimes once the victim is safe.\n\nEven ambulances and fire trucks - who are literally saving lives - exercise more caution.

One of my friends in college had half a year left before he became a cop\u2026he had bashed some dudes head in with a hammer about 4 years prior. He straight up told me they just take anyone and bypass them through testing and give them a talking to if they have a record
