Vehicular Deaths
“Pursuits” at such speeds that they are likely to result in the death of someone are hunts for humans. Our police state accepts our deaths and reprimands our language when we notice. My word for it is not incorrect. https://t.co/oYG5jBrOJx

Open records summary :
Andre Bassett Jr. was allegedly involved in a crash and according to police, he left the scene. Prince George County PD tracked him down in a high-speed chase that caused him to crash and die. His mother resorted to speaking to media to inform people that police have not given her any information about her son’s death for weeks since the event and that the PD is refusing to give her information even after a FOIA request. VCU criminal justice professor and policing researcher William Pelfrey pointed out that at 100 mph, someone is certain to die when crashing and questions why police would willingly enter such a mortal risk for the population at large for a mere traffic offense. Police are investigating themselves and have not responded to the many questions and challenges.
