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.

    Worth noting that the car didn’t have plates according to the Police.

    Hardly the Police job to solve poverty?

    This 21 Year old has a 6 and 3 year old sons. I’ll let you do the math on that. But it adds up to before some states had bans.

    Regardless. They should not have drawn their guns since she didn’t pose any immediate threat.

    Regardless. Fact of the matter is that the situation only escalated after the police drew their weapons.

    Regardless, her trying to run one of the cops down is only going to end 1 way.

      First of all, red states made it next to impossible to get abortions even when it was legal. Also, they cost money. Contrary to apparent popular belief, George Soros or the DNC don’t just appear to fund every abortion. Or, sometimes people are Catholic, which is fucking stupid, but maybe there’s some family shit you don’t know about. Especially for a minor trying to get an abortion. Again, contrary to popular belief, they weren’t just being handed out for free on every corner to every 16 year old who wanted one. There were still a million obstacles long before the Dobbs decision.

      Second, “I’ll let you do the math” is a judgey, self-righteous, and gross statement.

        1. Abortions are available in ohio. That is what matters here, since the argument being responded to was, “let her have an abortion”.

        2. Are you going to add any anything of worth?

        I already said that they shouldn’t have drawn weapons didn’t I?

        Your story about how they should follow her from a distant and stop her once she gets out is just fantasy. That’s also not where the fault lies.

        Her trying to run one over is vehicular assault at best. Yes. The police stood there on purpose. To make sure she didn’t take off. That’s fine. Dare I say common procedure in multiple countries, not just the US.

        Pretty sure it’s been stated everywhere that their education and work culture is a big problem. I agree. The police conduct that lead up to the shooting was poor. I agree.

        The moment she tries to run one over. It was only going to end 1 way.

        I’m agreeing with you in my first comment so I’m not sure what you’re trying to argue.

        The phrase “the police should have handled it better but…” should just be outlawed. I guess it does let everyone know to never have a conversation with whoever says it though, so I guess there’s that.

        From what I could see, the gun was out first. Most people go their whole lives without having a gun pointed at them. How you will respond is very unpredictable. Panic sets in - it doesn’t seem real. Cops are (or at least should be) trained on how to handle life or death situations- ordinary people are not.
