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 don’t believe for a second that she was "trying " to run over the cop. She just wanted to leave and he put himself in harms way. He could have very easily stepped to the side and not murder her and her unborn child.
Exactly. Cops know very well how to force destiny like that.

How about understanding that police is a corrupted institution housing violent and racist thugs that will murder, then lie to cover one another?
Alright troll, go home.

Spoiler alert, it’s always like this
American and Brasillian police are the most violent and gun happy police in the entire world.
Yeah, that will be the cop’s defense, she was attempting to assault the cop with a deadly weapon.
Still fucking shitty though. If they really wanted to stop her from leaving, just park the police cruiser in front of her car. Or let her leave and get her tags. They had options. Maybe her family will sue since the cop stepped in front of the car.
Her family will sue, and win, for deprivation of life. The city will foot the bill, paid for by taxpayers. The police will investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing, and will face no penalty from the civil suit. Check back in a few weeks where we’ll do this again!
She cranked the wheel all the way to the right prior to moving. She was trying to go around the cop.
She was trying to do the world a favor.
I’ll agree that a gross majority of american police is deserving of simply being fired and criminally accused of any number of crimes but there are good people working as police and the option to not have police, at all, would lead to even worse results than this.
It’s a country with a very long and convoluted relation with firearms. The entire american ethos still echoes around the image of the cowboy and pioneer pushing troubles aside and delivering justice at gun point.
Remove the police and you’d see the rise of private “security” and people mowing down each other in broad day light.
Generally, no, there aren’t good people working as police.
There have been good people that work for the police - and, when they discover incidents like these, will criticize and lambast the murderers at work (because good people tend to criticize murderers). However, police unions tend to fire good people like that. So there’s good ex-cops out there, but not good cops.
That is a very broad stroke.
I’ll stand by my words.
No, she was not. The car only moved when she died.
