Bodycam: Pregnant woman accused of shoplifting shot by police | CNN
www.cnn.com
The Blendon Township, Ohio police department released bodycam footage of an officer-involved shooting that took the life of Ta’Kiya Young. Young was accused of shoplifting by an employee and tried to leave the scene. CNN’s Miguel Marquez reports.

Somehow this is the only country on earth where this seems to happen. When talking about shootings involving guns, okay, fine, the US is certainly an outlier there, but every country has cars and police.

This is murder.

    I think that any rational person would conclude that in any situation where a cop walks in front of your car, you’re better off just gunning it before the cop has a chance to extrajudicially execute you first.

    Who upvotes this crap? This is worse than reddit.

      Debate it.

      Running from police in a high crime area used to be considered probable cause.

      That’s changing now because running from police in a high crime area is an eminently reasonable thing to do even if you’re innocent.

      If the tactic is demonstrably employed as a pretextual justification to kill nonviolent criminal suspects, than it’s reasonable to say that statutory law of resisting arrest should be the thing that breaks, not the natural law of self defense.

        You want me to debate against someone saying you should floor it any time police walk in front of your car??

        If you floor it and run into a cop just because they walk in front of your car, you deserve to get shot because the cop would be defending themselves.

          If dude’s aiming a gun at my face cause of some groceries?? He deserves what he gets.

          Maybe try de-escalating instead of over-escalating. In NO situation should a suspected shoplifting end in a murder.

          If she tried to run, guess what? They can literally just track her down and move to arrest when lives aren’t in danger.

          He unnecessarily and intentionally put himself in harm’s way, in an intense situation with a terrified suspect. He knew what he was doing.

          Fuck off with your tyrant apologia bullshit.
