I’ve often seen cops looking at their laptops sitting in their center consoles while they drive and I’ve always thought, “Huh, that’s incredibly dangerous. They really shouldn’t be doing that…”

I feel so sorry for the victim of this cop’s blatant disregard of the people around him.

Are we sure the Matt Walsh video wasn’t a required Anti-DEI training set by the department?

We used to have DEI video training to prevent things like workplace S.A. back in my day, I can only imagine some agencies are trying to undo that in a more literal sense.

Casualties from cops simply operating motor vehicles, I'm sure it's easy to find the data on that. 😡

There was a Minneapolis cop who used to watch porn on his while working overtime security at the Speedway on Chicago Ave. So glad we have to pay off their accidentally on purpose murder settlements.

The poor cyclist 😔

That is a relentlessly awful story to read.

What are the odds that he'll also have trans porn on his home search history, a battered wife, a Nazi tattoo, and go to church regularly?

100%. Across the board.

The only silver lining to this story is that since this is Vermont, he’s FUCKED

Happens often I imagine as I'm constantly seeing police drivers looking at their phones or monitors while red light runners and erratic drivers zoom right by them. Disgusting!

pretty impressive that the main display in a police cruiser will access and play internet videos while the car is moving.

I mean, it’s necessary to fight crime, right? Like, what if you need to watch Batman to get ideas?

Or noted crime fighter Matt Walsh!

"No interaction during the 11 minutes that matter." Come on, man. When you play a video on your tablet of course you're not going to be interacting with it during playback.

AND they even sell cars with SCREENS in them. Nobody should be watching anything but the road EVER. Why is this not the law?

No joke, this guy was given a "Department of Defense Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) Patriot Award" by my middle school D.A.R.E. officer.

Everyone is distracted today. By our phones, gadgets, podcasts, there is something for everyone. Effectively siloed in our own tiny vision of the World. There so much information available and too few with the skills to effectively sort through it and understand what is total BS and what’s truth.
