The best police chase I've ever seen in my life just happened in Philly. Stolen ambulance by a guy that looked like Kyle Gass.

Edit: it started to pick up at a gas station, and KG apparently got shot in the leg:

Then it went kinda slow:

https://twitter.com/bubbaprog/status/1233586439650250752

Then KG pulled over in a parking lot, with one tire over a parking block. He opened his door, and

https://twitter.com/CBSPhilly/status/1233593969105395712

escaped, then bashed through two cop cars, got stuck, got tased, rode the lightning, and drove off.

THEN A WILD TOW TRUCK APPEARED

https://twitter.com/bubbaprog/status/1233593691291475970

But KG just kept going, tires optional

https://twitter.com/bubbaprog/status/1233597198040010754

Then there was literally no more rotor left, the front axle died, and KG met his demise at the hands of Philly PD.

https://twitter.com/bubbaprog/status/1233598009000284161

Just joking, KG was white, he just got shot in the leg early in the chase.

Apparently dude those cops shot is in Northwestern hospital, survived surgery, in serious or critical condition.

He was drunk and hopped the turnstile for the fare, supposedly.

I don't care about what color they are. If any two cops can't take down a drunk dude with clubs, tasers and pepper spray, they don't deserve to be cops.

There's a drat strong argument to be made for eliminating fares, or at least fare enforcement, entirely to remove the exorbitant costs of both enforcement and fare-handling in general. Folks who evade fares aren't trying to commit murder, they're often just trying to get somewhere they need to be and lack the economic security to be comfortable with what to us seems a paltry fare.

Freedom of movement is really important for economic opportunity and just quality of life in general. There's a reason why wealthy white suburbs often fight regional public transit expansion: they don't want poor minorities to have easy access to their neighborhoods. The economic burden of car-ownership is a factor that city planners are fully aware of and some choose to make their neighborhoods as car-dependent as possible with at least the implicit acknowledgement that doing so filters out "undesirables".

Might have to dedicate more funds to transit, but given the extravagant amounts we spend to subsidize car ownership, rebalancing our budgets to favor more efficient, cleaner public transit seems fair.

lol at the idea of persuading enough folks that a car-centric lifestyle is anything other than divinely ordained and utterly immutable, though

I dunno the officers obviously didn’t go straight to plugging the dummy. I see spent tasers, pepperspray, hands on 2 minute fight.

Dude had every opportunity to give up.

But yes fair evasion is dumb and public transportation should be free.

Being in Afghanistan is very bad

But taliban are very bad

I guess as long as people arent being killed and stuff as much its good but the taliban will just be loving dicks to everyone again by banning music and dancing and anything that they don't believe to be "true islam" or whatever the gently caress they want to call their dumb bullshit.

Luxembourg just made all public transportation free. So that’s good.

Regarding Afghanistan, I don’t think we should occupy forever, but isn’t any peace deal meaningless? Wouldn’t the Taliban say or sign whatever, wait for the US to leave, then start things up again and trust that trump won’t care enough to reinvade? I don’t have a better idea, but with the Afghan army making ARVN look like space marines it wouldn’t take long.
