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
Don't hire cops to get work done. Local gov staff can show up and ticket deadly drivers who mow down pedestrians and cyclists who have the green. Most transportation activists are are cop apologists or silent. #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.

If Portland driver kills pedestrian on sidewalk or fail to stop at sign then mow down cyclists without stop sign (Clinton) our "police" make excuses and #ZeroCitation , but they do cite ya for driving a car into a parked car, or chase down cyclists who slap civilian fenders. HT ⤵️
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
