Authorities in Ohio say they will release body camera footage of a fatal police shooting of a pregnant Black woman.
Let’s see whether or not the officer moved out of the way after firing
What a tragedy. These dumb cops are the fucking problem. Why the hell is he standing in front of the vehicle? Is it so boring that they have to get their adrenaline flowing for a shoplifter? Unbelievable that they can murder a young mother based on an assumption and get away with it. Innocent until proven guilty my ass. A family is devastated.
Hug your loved ones.
Listen, I get the whole ACAB thing, and I think the unjustified shooting of anyone is awful. And I know black people are treated extremely unfairly by the police.
But as someone who (even briefly) worked retail, some shoplifters are batshit. I will not be surprised if the video shows exactly what the police said in this case. Being pregnant is not gonna stop a cop from shooting you if you drive your car at them. And it’s insane to think otherwise.
We need better addiction solutions. A pregnant woman should not be risking her life to score alcohol.
Edit: That said, I also won’t be surprised if the cops lied. Obviously.
Edit 2: Seen the video. She shouldn’t have driven at him, but I do not think he was justified shooting her. His life was not in danger. She was at a dead stop, she could’ve floored the gas as hard as she could and he would’ve been fine. Fucking awful.
Somehow she made it out of the store without inflicting her hypothetical murderous shoplifter rage on anyone but I guess she was just like some kind of bull triggered by red and blue lights. Thanks for providing some entirely unnecessary made up context to preemptively justify the actions of people you apparently know are a bunch of lying racist murderers.
Thanks for admitting that you have a personal bias towards shoplifters.
Young was among them, according to the employee who pointed her out sitting in her car in the parking lot. She allegedly took bottles of alcohol without paying.
Getting drunk during pregnancy is how the “Greatest Generation” created the boomers.
This place is weirdly hyper-leftist. Don’t expect this comment to go well
Leftism is when you downvote dumbass comments
This isn’t a left/right issue. The divide here is between people who have learned the laws governing the use of force, and people who haven’t. The problem is that the cops are in the first camp, and the people being killed (and the people outraged at them being killed) are all in the second.
The only viable solution to this problem is to broadly teach these laws to people before they decide whether to act a fool.
