In its analysis of pursuits from media sources, Human Rights Watch identified 10 people killed who were reportedly bystanders—not in the pursued vehicle—and 20 bystanders who were injured. The reports also included the deaths of two children—under the age of 18—including a bystander, and four children who were injured in a crash after a vehicle pursuit.

“These pursuits regularly occur in residential areas or in sensitive areas: around schools, places of worship, and hospitals,” El Paso County Commissioner David Stout said in an interview with Human Rights Watch. “DPS is often conducting pursuits at 80-100 miles per hour. They are putting our lives in danger. Comparing these policies to the Department of Justice and police departments shows that DPS is out of line with all of these other organizations and the best practices they implement.”

Sounds to me like the Department of Public Safety sure doesn’t give a flying fuck about public safety

Glad to finally see some coverage on this!

I wonder if people who are in the US illegally are crossing the Canadian border so they can travel internationally. Considering the extreme restrictions put in place by the US and zero path to citizenship, seems to me that if I were in that position and I wanted to visit home for example, the only way I could do that would be to fly in and out of Canada.

I’m so sorry for your loss. And you’re right on both counts, there is no dignity in suffering, but I’m glad he was able to make his choice too.

Money. It’s always money.

From the article:

Achtemeier charged as much at $4,500 per truck for work that often took him two hours or less. Achtemeier advertised his services on social media nationwide, doing business as Voided Warranty Tuning (VWT) or Optimized Ag. Between 2019 and 2022 his company took in more than $4.3 million in gross profits.

Found an article talking about this that’s not locked behind a paywall

There’s a link in the article to the list of books each school has banned, and some of those titles are just maddening.
