The cop who parked there isn't the cop who put the suspect in the car.
so what ? there being more than one cop means that there was multiple cops that should have been smarter.
multiple cops being there makes it look more like an attempt to kill the woman.
Look, I hate cops as much as the next rational person, but this does not at all look like an attempt to kill the woman. That's disingenuous at best. This is stupid incompetence and not paying attention, being extremely careless with a person in their care.
If a parent leaves a gun unattended in their bedroom during a party, and a kid goes and shoots themselves or someone else with it, is that parent or the adults at that party attempting to kill the kid or the other person? No, they are just criminally negligent.
It is nowhere near as negligent and actively harmful as parking a car on train tracks and then handcuffing a person into the back seat of that car.
Maybe you missed the point where I explicitly said this was criminal negligence. I was arguing it wasn't intentional homicide, like the guy I replied to said it was.
Right. I’m saying that parking a car on the tracks and then handcuffing someone into it is far more negligent, to the point of crossing over into predictably horrible outcome, not just opening the door to bad outcomes like normal negligence does.
Tying someone to the railroad tracks isn’t what drunk idiots do in old westerns; it’s what the bad guys do.
Thank you.
