I dunno... If you’re lying in the street at 1:20a.m., maybe you should expect someone might run over you.

Actually, that IS my point. It’s one thing to hit a pedestrian in a parking lot. It’s another to hit a person laying on the ground. I would not expect them to hold anybody responsible for hitting a person on the ground. Depending on the angle, it can look like all sorts of things.
It is really dangerous to lay down in a place that is a pathway for cars. They are very heavy. You could get squished.

Felony damage of police property.

I’ve never been to Tacoma but there must be better places to take a nap than the street.

That would probably be safer. Unless there was lightning.

The Electric Light Orchestra cant be everywhere. Looks like the police car came from Out of the Blue. Oh well, now the cop is going to have to Face the Music.

LOL
If by some Strange Magic the cop really didn't see the guy he probably feels real bad about it. Just because he's a cop doesn't mean he would hurt a Livin' Thing.

And some balance from an amphibian:
Coming home tonight on the bike, I spied a doe hit by a car lying in a culvert on the mountain where normal people would have never seen her, suffering. I drove on a bit and then turned around. If Id left her there, Id have heard her all night and I just couldnt drive away.
I called 911 and they dispatched a state trooper.
I thought hed just shoot her but he studied her a while and said hed stay with her for a bit to see if she was able to get up and get going.
He also mentioned the DNR and wildlife rescuers.
Even as a hunter, he was loathe to kill her unless she absolutely, positively had no chance.
IMO, God sent an angel for that doe, one way or another.
If she could live, he would make sure she had the chance.
If she could not, someone who cared deeply would deliver a merciful bullet.
At this point, I have no idea which way it went, up there on that dark mountain.
I did not hear a shot and sound carries a long way at night here, especially before the coming rain.
I *did* come home knowing she was in good hands and it has deeply touched me.
He was a man of great honor and infinite compassion.
Theyre still out there.
I just wanted to share what happened with you.
I wish I knew how to contact his superiors and give him the praise he deserves, just in case they might start teaching all their troopers conscious compassion.
