“A driver” just because its an american otherwise the title of this would be “and illegal immigrant. Poor journalism 😢
They love to say clips that show NOTHING as graphic, literally treating the American people like babies. No wonder Gen z so soft
Safety of the people was not a priority because barriers were removed to be replaced at a later date. New Years Eve celebrations with missing barriers & extra police to compensate - really ?
What the hell is so graphic? Video by a camera apparently from the 1950s records a white truck turning a corner. Even Bigfoot videos are clearer.
You all are responsible for this tragidy. No one made his duty right. Every one in the shift of duty of Law Enforcement should be investigated for this negligence in this incident
