The more logical and likely answer is he was trying to commit suicide by cop.

Does anyone know why NYPD decided to chase after the U-Haul on the sidewalk? I thought car chases were prohibited on the street, not to mention the sidewalk. Anyone have insight? Sounds like a dangerous blunder on their part.

"Meme opinion." Ok.
When someone is shot, do the headlines say "man shot by gun" or do they say "man shot by [insert human being]? You know the answer. Car culture is a death cult, for real.

This is true. This man clearly did this on purpose, but the drivers there acting "normally" are insane. Probably once a week I have a close call. When I'm in the crosswalk and have the light or am at a stop sign. There is ZERO traffic enforcement here.

It's sick how we dehumanize crimes committed by drivers. It's important to say a DRIVER hit someone, the car didn't do it on its own.

I'm sorry to hear that your mom is suffering, but wishing death en masse upon residents of a long term care facility hoping your mother will die is something you may want to keep to yourself.

In a hospital setting, it shouldn't be left up to individual choice. You are surrounded by other people. Hospitals should do what's best for the entirety of their patients and staff, not bend over backwards for ignorant brats who don't care about anyone but themselves.

When my mom was dying in the ICU after a fall last year, the same day she passed, I remember waiting in line at check in at the hospital in front of someone like that. There was a woman in an American flag hat (of course) behind me huffing and tsk-ing and she literally started GROWLING like a lion (I am not kidding). She said "grrr" out loud. The she started yelling about how HER RIGHTS were being infringed upon, making a massive scene. All because she had to wait in line 2 minutes to be checked in with a picture ID and put on a mask rather than walk right into a hospital without anybody bothering to know who she was.
I don't know what it is, but being asked to take basic precautions in a hospital apparently turns these people feral.

I mean, of course! Anyone who doesn't want to slow the spread of bacteria and viruses in a hospital among patients, staff and visitors is doing it wrong.

That's the takeaway about George Santos? Whew the bar is through the floor for Republicans these days.

Well it goes counter to Eric Adams doomer "we're poor! We must seek private companies to " donate" services to us in exchange for influence!" stance, that's for sure. Also not going to help him with union negotiations when he's been feigning poverty to deny cost of living adjustments after 4-5 years of city workers not receiving them.

He isn't entitled to use city staff and city attorneys to appear on his behalf at these hearings in an attempt to intimidate enforcement. Which is a thing he actually did.

Eric Adams won't accept that excuse from the pitiable citizens in this city as he does his Rat Crusade. So why would we accept it from him?

They've been letting homeless kids rest on cots for years there. There's no point in having these spaces open overnight if they refuse to let these kids rest. The city could easily fix the issue and refuse to.

They could. They have a super majority of Democrats. The problem is most of them are feckless sellouts who bent the knee to Adams and refuse to use their power for anything other than creating task forces.

This is disgusting and cruel. No justification for this.
>Runaway and homeless youth who visit any of New York City’s overnight drop-in centers are now prohibited from “resting” there — and the providers have been ordered to remove any cots or resting places, THE CITY has learned.

All you have to do is walk around the 2-3 block radius surrounding your local police precinct and you'll get plenty of pictures to send over. I see these everywhere, especially the covers that obscure the plate from certain angles.

You think NYPD should have pursued a high speed chase on the sidewalks?
This is their job. They absolutely deserve shit when they do something stupid and dangerous.
