#FamiliesForSafeStreets made cardboard stencils months after #BenCarlsonPDX was killed on a sidewalk, not one for Ben, no video. Rather than call out cops who refused to cite the driver they keep inviting cops to all their "vigils". Stockholm Syndrome, all the influencers

NO need for cops to plant a gun when they say they thought they saw one on a man running away from them, shot at distance
(unarmed, innocent, not the suspect, left to bleed 25min)
Cops won't even cite driver on sidewalk who killed Ben
#BenCarlsonPDX
Council all words

I would love some examples to send to all the people who stay silent when drivers kill or injure and rarely get cited by cops. Biggest example is killer of #BenCarlsonPDX Ben was killed on a sidewalk, driver never cited, cops did nothing, nobody complained but me. #zeroCitation
Police believe Walker possibly suffered a medical event which caused him to leave the roadway and murder Ben Carlson and severely injure his girlfriend who were both on the sidewalk. Police said Walker the driver was cooperative with police and did not appear to have been impaired. No drug test was given he was allowed to leave the scene of the crash (police said and there was no citation ever issued) Sergeant police Simpson a Portland Police spokesman said Monday morning that medical personnel checked Walker at the scene before allowing him to leave Simpson said he couldn't provide specifics about what kind of medical event Walker may have suffered. ( Was the medical personnel a friend of the driver who killed a pedestrian on the sidewalk? Were the cops friend of the person behind the wheel ? )
I'm curious: you, StreetTrust, BikeLoud never focus on pattern: cops refusing to cite drivers at fault for mowing down cyclists/pedestrians. #BenCarlsonPDX
3 other cyclists(gave you names) had no stop sign, and drivers did have stop.

Portland Cops won't cite driver on sidewalk who killed pedestrian #BenCarlsonPDX but they have time to instantly show up when ICE building calls to remove a poster on their fence. #occupyICE again

Beep beep. Until bikeLoud gets loud and demands a civilian citation corps ( no cops ) your soft new laws useless, as in #BenCarlsonPDX on sidewalk and cyclists on Clinton getting mowed down and drivers ignore curbs, stop signs. #zeroCitation

BikeLoud and BikePortland I dare you to "go for broke" and put cops on the hot seat to explain why drivers can kill and/or hospitalize people in the right of way never get cited. #zeroCitation #BenCarlsonPDX Why yall staying so soft on cops? Is it your funding?

Screen snapshot from an article on the streets blog website quote according to Tim mcgurick the intern director of media relations for the Massachusetts State Police the suspect in the homicide was cooperative and remained on the scene in the aftermath of the crash and State Police let them go without an arrest
A screen snapshot from the Oregon live article about the murder of a pedestrian on a sidewalk by a driver who drove on the sidewalk quote authorities identified the driver as James Walker Douglas James Walker 59 of beaverton. Walker possibly suffered a medical event which caused him to leave the roadway police said he cooperated with police did not appear to have been impaired and was allowed to leave the scene of the crash officials said in red handwriting the screenshot includes never cited because the police never gave a citation to the driver..
♥️ targeting police inaction. No such exposure for victim #BenCarlsonPDX because bike leaders too relationship focused w cops. Silence from @bikeportland.bsky.social @stephrouth.bsky.social NGO PDX walks @thestreettrust.org all silent regarding cops inaction pattern. JFC #zeroCitation
Quoting an Atlantic article by Ben.. "shrugging off driver misconduct is the wrong prescription for radical and economic inequalities people in disinvested communities.". The quote is preceded by handwritten notes saying quoting straw man who does not exist thought leader BS..
victim name? Bingo! the elephant in the room is cops are barriers to safety. Enforcement should be 99% lay staff & more cams.
#BenCarlsonPDX killed on sidewalk and cops never cited driver. This quote is #Copaganda strawman. #LeahRileySF another thought leader, downplays role of road calming.
