Delaware police chase, shoot, and kill suspected shoplifter
Delaware State Police are investigating a deadly trooper-involved shooting in Minquadale, New Castle County.
"While attempting to take the man into custody, he did not comply with multiple commands to stop, and he physically resisted when troopers tried to remove him from the car," a state police statement said.
"Troopers shot the man when he continued to drive in a manner that placed officers in imminent danger," the statement continued.
Why kill him, though? Why even try to pull him out of the car? Cops have the perp cornered in his car, so why didn't they let the air out of all four tires, and sit in the squad car eating doughnuts until he gets bored and gives up?

Because then they wouldn't get to kill someone and have that amazing post-murder sex.
American cops treat lethal force as the go-to, and wonder why so many people are ACAB...
Defund the police all the way to $0
Nah, we still need police. But literally only a small fraction of what we have now. And a fraction of the budget allotted to them. And a MASSIVE retooling of the hiring process. We need to hire good, empathetic, smart people who want to serve and protect. Not these highschool C student bullies looking for everyone around them to respect their authoritah
2 reasons they killed him
- They wanted to
- Qualified immunity
"Troopers shot the man when he continued to drive in a manner that placed officers in imminent danger"
Try to hit cops with your car? Believe it or not, straight to the afterlife.
Claiming "he was gonna run me down" is an excruciatingly common cop lie. I'll believe it when there's video that shows it.
I literally thought this was the other story about them killing the pregnant woman. What's it say about the police and society in general that I'm like, oh, a different one from the same thing that happened last week
Ok but is the property okay? Did anyone check on the stuff? I hope no items got hurt.
Well, the police are there to basically protect the property of wealthy individuals and corporations. They don't do jack shit for private, middle or lower class individuals except "file a police report" for the stolen belongings. But if you try to walk out of a store with merchandise, you're fucked, because it's the wealthy that they are paid to protect.
Cars are lethal weapons, it's important to remember that.
Why even try to pull him out of the car?
Why not?? if he actually was shoplifting why not take him out of his car?

Would you not agree with the cops actions if this was true?
Do you think if they decided it was too dangerous and let him drive off with his stolen items, that he would have turned around and gone back to run them down?
They could have kept themselves and the public safer by tracking him down later and tacking on a few more charges. Thet chose to kill him instead.
It's dangerous to try and take him out of the car? For everyone?
