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.

    Yeah, did people not even watch the footage? You’d have to be braindead to try anything like that to cops nowadays, it’s a death sentence

      What exactly do you mean by "cops nowadays*?

      Do you mean do not try that because they will shoot at your for close to no reason?

      Or do you mean cops are extremely dangerous, just be the most agreeable prey they come across.

      Let’s do a quick test, you see a car driving at you 60mph, the only thing you have is your gun, and your legs.

      You can:

      A) get out of the way and live

      B) shoot the driver (which would not at all stop the car)

      Now let’s try this stupid shit one more time at 5mph.

      There is ZERO reason to discharge a firearm at this person, for evading arrest, shoplifting, etc. This is an UNARMED PREGNANT WOMAN.

      Imagine thinking this is the right way to handle this you fucking animal.

        Doesn’t matter in the slightest if this is the “right way to handle this”, it’s the reality of the situation where it’s pretty well documented that they’re going to choose their lives over yours if you give them a reason to (say for example driving your car directly at them like a braindead moron)

          bro she was driving slower than I can run. The cop quite literally put himself in front of the car to give himself a justification for killing her.

          … You take two steps to the left to move out of the way of the car, or, here’s a fantastic idea, you don’t step out in front of a fucking car in the first place???

          Well, either way, Ohio has a no excuses abortion law, so the officer needs to be charged.

          Doesn’t matter? This woman was almost a child herself, she lost her life at 21 years old over a bunch of power tripping cops. How fucking dare you. You need to reevaluate what matters.

          Part of being a an officer is being able to keep your shit together when civilians do not. Don’t sit here and act like you’d think rationally while a bunch of guns are pointed at you knowing damn well your chances of survival are significantly lower just because your skin is a different color. I seriously cannot grasp how you’re okay writing these comments. You should be ashamed of yourself, seriously.

        Yep and for people in the US they should been keenly aware that there’s a non zero possibly of being shot by police if they feel threatened. That’s just how it is.

          Almost anyone in the US will shoot you if threatened though.
