Reply to comment by Harmony_w in Quite a turnout at the anti police brutality rally in honor of Sayed Faisel. The crowd demands accountability from the CPD for the shooting. There is currently a city council meeting happening where people from the rally and the community are expected to speak. by Harmony_w

Out of genuine curiosity is there any evidence one way or the other? From what I've heard we have accounts that the guy was covered in his own blood from harming himself, showing at minimum he's likely not in his right mind at the time. As tragic as his death is, at face value it looks like suicide by cop.

I blame politicians for not taking action to right the unjust laws, but I still hold the offenders responsible for their own actions. I may agree that the law is unfair, but I understand the consequences associated with breaking it. And in this case, I can blame the politicians for not taking action that would make parking in the bikelane more difficult to do (such as protected lanes), but if there were a law in place that lead to drivers licenses being suspended I would still hold the offenders responsible for their own actions.

I don't have to take responsibility for anything lmao, the drivers who continuously get citations to the point of suspension would be responsible for themselves. We don't say the state is responsible when someone gets their license suspended for breaking other road laws, this would be no different.

Protected bike lanes would definitely be a place to start. Fines are only a deterrent if you don't have the money to pay them. Maybe some sort of strike system where you get your license suspended if you're cited enough times. But more cops wouldn't necessarily fix the issue.
