Loved the Rockford Files. We used to “pull a Rockford”, 3 point turn on the grid roads as young drivers. All we were missing was the shit brown coloured Camaro .
I used to work for Hertz and Budget out at the international airport many moons ago when I was in high school. We learned to perfect the Rockford in the big empty parking lot on the service road.

Russian court fines Google $2 decillion
I hope this doesn't get flagged as political, but I find it absolutely hilarious that this Russian court "fined" Google for this amount. An amount more than all of the estimated wealth of the world.
It just seems like something Dr. Evil would do if he was in charge of a country.

If that's in their rubles, it probably converts to $2 million USD

Homeless women passes out in parking lot and gets ran over then proceeds to refuse medical treatment. This is Darwinism at its finest if you ask me. Kudos to the one person who had enough decency to check on her before berating the cop. On the other hand cop definitely needs to pay more attention. Just crazy all around.

I find it absolutely incredible that the woman escaped without any serious injuries, let alone dying. A weird situation all around. If I saw a dead cat or garbage bag in a parking lot, I would either slam on the brakes, or swerve to avoid it. How did they not see a human on the ground, especially considering they were responding to a call stating there was a person passed out in the parking lot, especially when people seemed to be flagging the car down.
Bizarre.

According to the November 1st Edmonton Journal article that was posted in this thread this incident took place on October 20th, not last night. I watch the local CTV and Global news feeds daily and this was never reported. To me, that may be the most disturbing thing about this.

Bang on Boomer. I too read/view most main stream news sites and non mainstream and I cruise Reddit and a few other places, numerous a times a day. You are correct. This incident was never reported on it seems.
That’s said, it’s not the EPS duty to report the news or even necessarily announce incidents that may not have a larger impact. I just hope there is an internal and ASIRT investigation already occuring and no element of sweeping it under the rug.
The driver of that vehicle was obviously not doing the one thing they should have been, and that’s focusing on driving. You could not miss that person lying on the road based on the video posted

I found it interesting to read that the people that were screaming and yelling at the cop and shoving their phones in his face, were doing absolutely nothing to help the overdosing individual, preferring to focus on filming and standing back and watching before, during and after. Have no idea why the 4 individuals wouldn't be standing right beside a passed out person until help arrived. But hey, that's the way our society works for too many today. People too obsessed with their phones to actually care and help someone out.
And from what I understand, the cop was responding to something else, not this, and just happened to be in the area so was unaware there was a person lying in the middle of a street. Big mistake, obviously.

I joke because the individual amazingly had no broken bones and only suffered bruising. So, will live to inject another day.

You are so right. More concerned of catching the IG moment than helping a fellow human being. Pretty sad eh.
Also, the bolded doesn’t absolve the officer from having to pay the f*** attention when driving 4-5000 pounds of steel. I have zero patience for inattentive driving for personal reasons.
I cut the cops a lot of slack because it’s a thankless, but oh so necessary role in our society. To any officers, fire responders, EMTs and all first responders reading this site, thank you for doing what you do.
My response wasn’t directed at you. It was to the video. Where did you catch the news on this matter? Would be interested in learning more.
