Remember bastards are part of the in group with fascists. They are protected by the law but not bound by it.

America. "Welp, it was an accident".

White justice

Also, the law is selectively applied if you hadn't noticed. Gotta keep the plebeians in line and keep the bootlickers loyal enough. Easier to keep this one on the job than to find another to do the elite's bidding.

He wasn’t even turning into the right lane.

It's not. This is how you end up with alternative justice

Why taught my kids that whole pedestrians have right away is bullshit. The amount people especially kids walk out into the street in front of cars is to goddamn high. Even if it is the law. You stop and let the cars pass. Just how taught my kids.

But regardless this former cop should be hanging from a tree.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Why do you think the pigs always kiss the ass of conservatives and fascists? So they can be in the first group.

And it's nowhere near New Jersey, nor the shore.

It’s cop rehab. His off-duty per diem will be increased 30% while he recovers from the traumatic incident, and he’ll be on PTO until the violent protesters that were blocking his car are out of the hos—children? Make it 50% and an extra few weeks.

Consider that you're watching a person react while you're in a totally calm state of mind, and prepared for what you're going to see.
You can see them react to the car, step in front of it and hit it. To me the appearance is of a person who sees the cars motion as the source of danger, so they react to that. A moment passes and you can see the priorities sorting as they see the kids getting up, the cart still in the road, the lost shoe, and the panicked looking driver.

They're running around a lot, but they're holding one of the children within 10 seconds of the incident.
It might not be the perfect response in hindsight, but "car danger: make car stop. Now driver danger: make driver stop" is not an unreasonable first reaction. Particularly if you don't know if the driver saw the accident and is going to just hit them, pause and then keep going, or realize what he's done and then flee, running them over.

It is unfortunately not unexpected for me at all, american born into a conservative family.

So many people will literally virtue signal about how they would attack or kill a person who offended them in some way or who deserves it or has it coming, when most of the time they would passively do nothing.

Driving into somebody's kids right in front of them is pretty fucking bad, obviously, so a person doesn't exactly need to be iamverybadass material to go on the attack.

What makes you say this was race related?
