A Fort Wayne police officer with a history of traffic offenses has pleaded guilty to an infraction after his vehicle fatally injured a pedestrian who was in a crosswalk.

The officer was previously disciplined 4 times for other driving offenses, but killing someone - well - $35.50 oughta cover it.

    Its about time these guiltless pricks start receiving blunt and sharp objects to their eyes and faces when they go out in public.

      Fuck the police. But also maybe you should talk to someone about that inner violence…

        Maybe we should talk to someone about open corruption infecting every corner of local governments and enforcement agencies.

          Okay but seriously consider the other suggestion as well. Don’t just distract yourself like this every time these problems come up. It’s important.

            Distract myself? My guy, the world is burning, those with power are openly corrupt, we are literally just missing the seventh horn. I’m not running out in the streets ice picking people. I have people that rely on me. That doesn’t mean I’m not filled with rage every time I see another rich cuck whose leaned the entire system in his favor get exactly what he wants at the expense of us all for the 450th time.

              You’re just doing it again. You’re looking for ways to justify and distract yourself from very unhealthy patterns of thought, even as they worm their way the very justifications and distractions you employ. Listen to what people are telling you.

                I’m never going to be okay with our society setup how it is. So that people in power are allowed to leach from whoever with impunity. Simply because they can. Thats fucked up. I will never accept it. There is no healthy thought pattern that comes to acceptance with that reality. The wretched accept a bleak tomorrow.

          I mean, aren’t you sick of the rampant corruption? These fucks doing whatever while you can barely afford food and rent? I am. I’m fucking sick and tired. Where is living? Where the fuck is life? We built a shit ass world and I am mad. What I love doing is playing games and messing with linux configs, i do that plenty. What I don’t enjoy is anybody with a centimeter of power becoming absolutely corrupt. Its exhausting.

            Dont worry, it’ll be fine as long as we mail the police department a check for $35 bucks afterwards. Though maybe there should be s discount here, them being cops and all…
