Brickbat: Pinned Blame
In Orlando, a police chase that apparently violated department policy resulted in the death of Gerald Neal. The chase began over a driver with an unreadable license plate, which is not a forcible felony that permits a chase under Orlando Police Department rules.
Body camera footage shows that Neal was first hit by the fleeing suspect, Dornell Bargnare, and then seconds later by Officer Christopher Moulton's unmarked Ford F-150. Moulton did not realize he had hit Neal and joined other officers to check nearby homes, while first responders worked to free Neal, who remained pinned under the truck for 15 minutes.
Bargnare was arrested hours later and charged with vehicular homicide.
The pursuit began over a driver with an unreadable license plate—an infraction not listed among the forcible felonies that permit a chase under Orlando Police Department rules.
