not to mention people blowing through the protected crosswalk with lights flashing

A few years ago I read a story about a black teenager killed by a cop who was driving (fast) the wrong way down a 1-way residential street, about 25 mph limit, until T-boning. The cop was not charged, because he had lights on, while the teenager’s friend who was driving was arrested for driving with a suspended license.

Driving on the road in America means watching out for yourself because the rules will not actually protect you.
