Doing anything with your phone while driving is so dangerous! Also, when the lights turn green, look both ways before advancing. Seems like no one does this! My Dad made sure we all knew to do that. Common sense saves crashes!
So agree. Too many distracted drivers!
And yet, the police are above the law? Police are “allowed” to use their phone, laptop and anything else they want while operating their motor vehicle, while us peasants cannot. I agree on the post, but police should be held accountable too. Right?
The amount of drivers I have been seeing lately on their phones is INSANE. No one cares about rules or laws anymore, especially with younger drivers. And some drivers will blatantly have their phones in their hands out in the open. This is why accidents happen, SMH.
Use a damn blue tooth.

Where's guns not drums at now
So all the flock cameras in every corner are not helping π
Sometimes its best to not post things.... they obviously wanted to end his life and now they know hes stable could come back to hurt him.... sad situation all around j.s
Maybe I’m just old, but can’t people just fight it out? Black eyes heal, gunshots mean jail time.
Wasn't there also a shooting around 11pm last night?? So 2 in about 12 hours?? π¬π«’
Did he make it?
Prayers for victims and their families ππΎππΎππΎβ€οΈ
Prayers out to the victim and their family and friends.
No name?
Prayers
All the family have our families love , support and we wish you some justice and peace
We probably need more flock cameras. Shut down the pool and add another 200 cameras.

Kids…..older people know it’s too damn hot to be out there acting foolish. Prayers for the 18 yr old. Youngsters like to “ brag” so it’s just a matter of time before they’re caught.
