This article is so confusingly written. If all the police resigned WHO were the police chasing him? Why is the coroner commenting on the reason for police pursuit? Who was the council member the police chief was complaining about and how did they have the power to cut police funding?

The county police. The town’s force resigned.

Are you sure? The article doesn't say that anywhere

McColl Mayor George Garner II collided with an 18-wheeler during a chase with county police, days after the town’s entire force resigned.

That paragraph is not in the article

[-] huf@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

it is for me. it's between the title and the article itself, just beneath the MYSTERIOUS sticker, and above the byline.

[-] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

Not for me. The para I get is:

McColl Mayor George Garner II veered into eastbound traffic and collided head-on with an 18-wheeler during the police chase. Garner was connected to an active investigation by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, sources told WBTW, though details of the investigation are not clear.

Is south carolina a county? Idk I'm not from USA.

You're quoting different parts.

Doesn't appear on mobile it looks like. What a weird design choice

It changes (visible/invisible) depending on the size of the window. I noticed resizing it on a desktop triggers the behavior too.

South Carolina is a state. For reference its the cultural heart of the Planter Elite and the first state to seceded from the union in the Civil War.

It's in the subheading under the headline at the top. But yeah, badly written article, normal for Daily Beast.

Odd, it appears on the Hexbear preview ignore 1.02k notifications

But not the article itself (anymore). Must be a cached version
