Dansaert - Porte de Flandres, this afternoon, police vehicle ran straight into a woman on a pedestrian crossing. I was there, this is not hearsay. No idea whether she died but it looked fatal.

Feels to me that there are reports of a police vehicle running into or over someone at least once a week. Does anyone know of a data or new tracker that has eyes on that ?

Not expecting any consequences for police, there usually aren't. Would like to match report numbers to general feeling (and maybe compare to other cities), but I'm no data analyst.

Edit to add: impressive ratio of downvotes. If you'd like to argue about police guilt in general, be my guest, but that's not what the post is asking about.

BTS at ING arena has drawn 100k people to Brussels, that I know; metros were tripled in frequency today and full to the brim, that I know; but I'm 5km away near simonis, is it them I'm hearing or is there another event in the northwest quarter ?

I live in an old house which collects rainwater into an underground cistern. Mice semi-regularly fall into the drains from the roof during downpours and end up drowned in the cistern. I'm pretty good at fishing out (dead) mice day of, but with the heatwave I haven't been checking that much (there's been no rain).

Yesterday evening I opened the cistern to water the garden (I dunk my watering cans in and go) and there was a weird smell, but I put it on account of the water being still and hot. But after a while, something very large and very bloated came up to the surface - a mouse that had been in there long enough to be almost unrecognizable. When I tried to fish it out, the body pretty much burst apart (I'm so sorry if you're reading this while eating) and the smell was atrocious.

It's 37C outside and I'd already started watering so... I finished irrigating the whole garden.
It was too hot to worry.
But this morning my brain is cooler and I'm sort of freaking out, will anything happen to my soil or my plants ?

It's one or two dead mice in the equivalent of maybe 340 L water I used that day, watered over soil cover (a lot of mulch), with no rain in the forecast to dilute it. Help !
