... driver gets jail for killing calves with their car
Not to sound sarcastic, but that's more severe than what hit-and-run drivers who kill pedestrians and cyclists get.
Indeed. I expect the recent driver who died after colliding with a pack of cycle racers would have been pretty lightly punished.
Perhaps this case will lead to heavier penalties for those who hit vulnerable road users
Oh fuck off. It's right there in the post summary: "filmed laughing". Bitch was being cruel and malicious. The cop did it to protect public safety and his victim only sustained cuts and bruises. Use your head FFS
No need for that tone old bean.
"Protect public safety" by causing tremendous pain and suffering for someone who did nothing wrong? Lick that boot harder.
