    Why the fuck would they engage in a pursuit over a helmet (or a seatbelt in a car)? It’s not like you’re trying to catch a wanted murderer or kidnapper or something, it’s a personal safety violation. You tell them to stop, they say no, and then you say, “ah well, nevertheless.” At most they could’ve just mailed him a ticket! But nope, that boy isn’t following our orders, time to make an example out of another one of them. This is why you have purges, not because of “Muh crazy Stalinist power trips!” But because even IF we get our revolution, these ghouls don’t just vanish into thin air, they will stick around and they WILL cause trouble.

    Anyone who has knowledge of this incident should call police at 202-727-9099.

    What the fuck... I mean... the pigs who did it should have knowledge... they are just trying to figure out if they have to intimidate / disappear any witnesses.
