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.

        You joke, but this number is probably still too high. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if shareholders technically lost money due to the interruption of potential customers by all the commotion.

        No police officer was actually struck by the car, if you read the article. The car only moved when she died, because her foot was on the brake.

        Imagine if they just got her license plate and showed up at her house and arrested her later for the misdemeanor of fleeing the scene. Everyone lives.

        A car at rest vs unhinged cops with loaded guns who have no issue killing… Hmmm 🤔

        Maybe next time I go hunting instead of bringing a gun, I’ll just bring a car.

          To be fair, it’s often said, if you want to get away with murder, do it with a car… Sprinkle some bicycle next to the body for good measure.
