This is misleading. This wasn't a random motorcycle rider speeding. This was a person who commited a crime (theft) trying to flee from the police. The police don't want us to think of it from that angle because then the secondary question needs to come up, is it safe for police to be engaging in pursuits with criminals on public highways in this manner.
If you want to go down that path - all of our actions online are environment destroying. This useless comment that I'm making needs to live in a datacenter somewhere, multiply that enough times and the energy needed just to have dumb conversations online is killing the planet on its own.
This article seems like it's going to try to make a point, but then it sort of just moves on after dropping a buzzword and vaguely describing it's relevance.
Relax, they're just staring at the skybox.
