In the late summer of Las Vegas, a man who had spent 35 years in service to public safety was cycling near his home when he became the target of something premeditated and recorded for an audience. Andreas Probst, 64, a retired police chief, was struck and killed by a vehicle whose occupants had planned the act moments before carrying it out. A 17-year-old driver now faces murder charges, and the video that documented the killing has forced a reckoning with what it means when violence is not only committed but performed — and what it says about the world that receives it.
