The only passenger in the car when an American citizen was shot and killed by a federal officer in South Texas last year had planned to speak up and contradict the government’s account of the shooting. However, the passenger, Joshua Orta, died in an unrelated car crash over the weekend.
Is this the US equivalent of falling out of a window?
Probably not, because driving is actually dangerous while standing next to a window generally isn’t. No government shenanigans needed when car crashes are the most common cause of death for under 22s and the second most common for people 23-67.
What kind of car was it though?
Not sure I understand why you’re asking? People can die in any type of car at highway speeds.
It’s been well documented that with modern cars you can hack them and disable brakes, increase acceleration etc. I’m not claiming that 100% happened here, but it would be foolish to deny that parts of the government wouldn’t know how to do these things.
Oh, gotcha. No idea about anything like that, but it sounds like one of those things that’s impossible to disprove. I think it’s a valid concern, but there are so many car deaths that we can’t assume every one is a murder.
If his family came forward with evidence that the car received a signal right before his death, or that it had been tampered with, or anything like that then that would be a different situation. But it doesn’t seem like they’re claiming it was a murder.
