This is happening because cops are speeding and looking at the stupid laptop they have jammed in their face from the passenger seat. It is called multi-tasking and it causes people to lose their lives.
This was my cousin… I saw the whole incident happen with my own 2 eyes
We need more info. How does this happen?
Of course a cop can’t drive. This moron should be charged just as if you or I hit a pedestrian
Sending prayers for the child 🙏🙏🙏
Poor kid 🙏🏼
Well, no info on the dash cam? Lights, sirens? If they had a call they were responding to? Were they speeding?
Bikes are vehicles – it shouldn't be in a crosswalk lol
That’s a super busy intersection. Gotta be careful.
In Seattle, the cops laugh about the victims they hit with their patrol cars. I’m glad this girl survived!❤
Prayers for healing
What's with cops and hitting pedestrians lately?
I'm pretty sure that cop did it on purpose.
Qualified Immunity.
These cops are off the chain
Prayers for girl and family and the officer.
Prayers for her the family and the officer.
