The thread title is the USA Today headline for this story.

Only the kid didn't die during a "traffic stop." The kid was driving recklessly and fled when the cops tried to pull him over. He lost control of the bike and ran into a stop sign. That didn't stop the mayor from blaming the cop.

The deceased is 13 year old Stanley Davis Jr



quote:

The mayor of Boynton, Florida addressed the circumstances surrounding the death of a 13-year-old Florida boy, who died on Sunday after crashing his dirt bike as police tried to pull him over.

On the day of the incident police said the teen, Stanley Davis Jr., was "driving recklessly" on Boynton Beach Boulevard, according to a statement released Sunday.

Police were seen following Davis as he left a gas station on video obtained by WPTV. The teen later collided with a street sign after hitting a curb and was thrown from the bike. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

I don't know what that anchor's definition of "close behind" is but that kid was leaving the cops in the dust. The cop car didn't really seem to be in a terrible hurry.

This culture believes driving dirt bikes illegally on city streets is awesome.


It’s not. It’s dangerous.

Sad a young kid died doing something incredibly stupid and preventable. Even more sad the politicizing of it by this mayor to stir more anger and bitterness.

This is going to come in hand in the upcoming civil suit. How many millions do you think this stupid kid's folks are going to get from the city because of this guy's statement?

No, his parent(s) and the woke brigade are, for ingraining a fear of police and teaching him that running from them was a good idea.

I’m sure the city’s attorney and insurance carrier are very proud of the mayor for this.

In other words this Mayor believes because black folk may have been treated wrong at sometime in the past then young black kids should be able to break the law and ride illegal vehicles on public streets. While also not abiding by the traffic laws that other members of the public must follow.

According to the standards set by the left, shouldn’t the dirt bike be blamed for the death just like the car ran over those people at the parade was to blame.
