Bodycam: Pregnant woman accused of shoplifting shot by police
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.

Getting shot over shoplifting is insane.
The usa is fucked beyond saving
I'm fine with enacting a quarantine across the entire united states and allowing those who want to leave to leave
and allowing those who want to leave to leave
I hope you fare better than other refugees who turn to come here by boat.
No. They've had their chances. None can leave without rigorous testing first. We don't want to end up with another America just in a different location.
BUILD THE WALL
/s?
She got shot over driving at a police officer standing in front of her car. The fact that it escalated to that is a pretty bizarre series of events though.
See, people are even defending it. Truly and absolutely fucked fucked fucked.
I don't think /u/Ilovethebomb was trying to defend it. He's just adding context. She didn't only get shot for shoplifting. The shoplifting initiated an interaction with the police that escalated. She started driving away and the cops tried to physically stop the car with their bodies. So one of the cops panicked and shot.
Of course there are many issues - why were the cops pointing guns at her in the parking lot while she was in the car? Certainly didn't help with de-escalation. I hope the cop who fired the shot and is under investigation gets criminal charges.
Why was officer dumbass standing in front of a moving car?
In his head, that was his tiananmen square moment
Dead tiananmen square students still received more of an education than this cop.
She didn't steal anything. The cop stepped toward the direction she was steering. He even stepped forward as she was attempting to "run him over".
Sounds like that officer hates unborn babies
Your take is scummy and delusional. I don't envy the world you've constructed around you that's so blind and ignorant towards reality
OK cop
