Less than one minute. The police weren’t even called there for her, they were in the parking lot for an “unrelated call.” And why was an officer standing in front of her car leaning on the hood holding a gun in her face in the first place? There are so many things wrong with this.
OK, I get that she was driving away and it might have been at an officer hard to get all the views when one’s dead. Anyway, 1 He could have easily stepped aside and got the make, model, and tag etc so as to not escalate the situation 2 How the fuck is step 2 shoot to kill. Could’ve shot the radiator or a tire or you know not fired a gun. This is why shit’s so messed up, there’s no middle ground you’re either complying with them or you’re a deadly threat nothing in between. De-Escalation training needs to be mandatory every few months.
The question for me is, is a couple hundred Dollars of alcohol or groceries worth someone’s life? Why not let her go and pursue charges against her rather than executing her in the parking lot?
This is always the same question. Same with police who get into high-speed pursuits and end up killing people. At a certain point, if you have the license plate or ID of a person it makes more sense to avoid further escalation
I have a hard time seeing a 7-months pregnant woman being part of a gang of thieves and running from a store with her arms full of bottles of alcohol.
And if she was part of the gang, you record her license plate and get the security camera pictures and call her in. What the hell are cops being taught?

That’s possibly the only part of this that I could understand: some people use the “fake pregnant” or “fake obese” strategy to fit in more stuff under their clothes… so just by seeing someone who “looks like” they’re pregnant, you can’t “rule out” them being a thief.
Shooting even a confirmed thief, still isn’t justified.
