Bodycam: Pregnant woman accused of shoplifting shot by police | CNN

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, 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!
