Charge Bogdan Vechirko for driving his semi through the peaceful protest on the Interstate

The Issue

The tanker truck approaching the peaceful protestors on a closed highway at a high speed, as they frantically tried to avoid being hit. The interstate was closed. CBS Minnesota said some 5,000 protesters were on the interstate at the time.

He was arrested and then released without formal charges after almost killing thousands of people.

The stopping distance of a vehicle can be determined based on the speed and size. Why didn't he brake earlier? Why was he on the highway? Why wasn't he charged? Without charging him, there will NOT be a formal investigation.

Our system needs to start holding people accountable.
