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 :
Washtenaw County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to East Michigan Avenue just east of Harris Road in Ypsilanti Township for a crash and a “police situation” involving a 37-year-old Detroit man and the Ypsilanti Police Department.
Jackson did not reveal any additional information about what the “police situation” entailed but the man fled police and was chased into the path of a bystander vehicle. Elizabeth Messner was found dead in the bystander vehicle.
An eyewitness took their testimony to city council and referred to the incident as a “high-speed chase” involving the Ypsilanti Police Department. Police only shared a preliminary report with city leaders, according to two Ypsilanti City Council members, Steve Wilcoxen and Annie Somerville, who both declined to discuss its contents on-the-record since it was marked “confidential.”
