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 did read what happened. Did you?

      Did you watch the video?

      A police officer stood in front of a car then shot at the person behind the wheel because she apparently shoplifted.

      1. Shoplifting is not a capital crime.
      2. The cop shouldn’t have stood in front of the car.
      3. SHOPLIFTING IS NOT A CAPITAL CRIME.

      She shouldn’t have stolen from the store, she shouldn’t have gotten into her car. The cop shouldn’t have stood in front of the car, the cop shouldn’t have shot her. An officer should not intentionally put themselves in front of a car THEN declare they fear for their lives.

        Stop right there, she was accused of stealing. I’ve been accused of stealing by a store as well and I did not in fact steal anything. I also don’t like dealing with cops but I’m not going to drive away I’m also not her so I can’t judge her.

          Correct, she ALLEGEDLY stole from a store. Even if she DID steal from the store, THEFT IS NOT A CAPITAL CRIME.

          Never mind the fact that the fucking officer stood in front of the car TO STOP A SHOPLIFTER.

          Any loss prevention associate from Target stands in front of a car to stop a shoplifter is getting fired because even Target knows that’s a dumbass move. How is it that Target trains it’s people better AND holds them more accountable than the fucking police?

        The cop shouldn’t have stood in front of the car.

        That’s not an excuse to run someone over.

          A) She didn’t run anyone over. B) Stopping an alleged shoplifter is not a valid reason to put yourself in front of a car. C) If you put yourself in front of a car, you don’t get to claim to be afraid for your life. D) Shoplifting is not a capital crime.

      I just watched it. You could say her driving forward while the cop was in front was bad, and maybe it was fleeing, but does that deserve a death sentence? They’re recording with body cameras, so they have her license plate number. They can identify her and put out a warrant for later easily. Is that not more appropriate? Who cares if she was shoplifting. Does that hurt anyone. Let her live and deal with it later if it needs to be dealt with.

          In many countries this is exactly what the police are trained to do: de-escalate the situation even if it means letting the person go at that moment, so that no one is put needlessly in danger.

              Every chance there was… except for the other chances that you don’t think are appropriate for some reason. You don’t deescalate by pointing a gun at someone, yelling at them, or trying to force your way into their vehicle.

              Zero sympathy

              You’re a bad person.
