        Unless they charge him with the crimes he committed, there’s no way they can convince me this isn’t a perfect reflection of their values and standards.

      Jesus Christ that headline “officer suspended after viral video appears to show him almost running a man over” should instead be “officer suspended after viral video appears to show him attempting to run a man over” but local journalism is all but dead so good luck

      Edit: also how the FUCK did they not include the video?! It’s literally a dudes video recording posted to social media and I don’t care if they have to take 20 minutes to censor it a little so little Timmy doesn’t hear a naughty word in the footage of a cop attempting vehicular murder, they should have already gotten permission to include the video on the article or at least included a link to it. They included a single still so it’s not like they haven’t seen it!
