RIP Desire Pool. Houston like most cities in this country is non-walkable and unfriendly to pedestrians. Make no mistake in not thinking this all by design.
On September 19, 2024, Desire Pool, a 41-year-old mother of four, was fatally struck by a Houston Police Department (HPD) SUV while crossing Antoine Drive near Pinemont Drive. The incident was captured on dashcam and body camera footage, which has sparked outrage and scrutiny from the public.
Desire Pool’s 18-year-old son, Jalen Gary, has publicly expressed his grief and outrage over the release of the footage without the family’s prior knowledge, calling it “the lowest thing you can do.”
Details of the Incident
According to the footage, Desire Pool was crossing the street with her two children when the HPD cruiser, driven by Officer Shelby Kennedy, struck her. The officers were transporting a suspect at the time of the crash. Pool was not using a crosswalk, and witnesses reported that she had just exited a bus and was attempting to cross the street.Footage Released

Many have called for greater transparency and scrutiny of police actions, as well as increased measures to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.Remembering Desire Pool

Yeah crosswalk use is necessary. Gotta mitigate your risk. Cop was still negligent though.
Smh rest in peace to the mother
No most suburbs even major cities aren't the most walkable and bus friendly places especially in Houston. I hated walking in downtown with how people overall drive out there even to cross the street is a test of faith.
