1. RT is so loving this horrible event

2. It's hard to see, but

it looks like the motorcycle is going up past the truck on the edge of a single-lane roadway, then hits the curb and wipes out. It didn't look like the truck moved over at all or even struck the bike. But it's pretty dark.

On eidt - Oh my god. I just realized this was the attack truck in France (I read it as 'nice attack'). Horrible.

3. Horrible

An American father and his 11 yr old son victims.

4. I saw that and wondered what he was doing.

Was he trying to get in the cab?

6. I just read this about the motorcyclist:

German tourist Richard Gutjahr noticed the chaos from a first-floor hotel balcony and grabbed his camera. His footage captured police officers running after the truck, and a motorcyclist, perhaps an officer, leaping from his bike and onto the truck's driver's side door before falling off. The officers fired on the truck in a desperate bid to stop it.

5. Unlike U.S. Media; the French don't saturate the media with the killers picture:

We only see the name and a stark Blank profile



No slow motion pans and close ups and replaying the perpetrators picture again and again and again
The U.S. Should adopt the same procedure
