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
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.
I hope you fare better than other refugees who turn to come here by boat.
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.
Framed differently, a cop moved in front of her car for an excuse to shoot her. He could just as easily NOT have moved in front of the car and/or have taken a step back like any normally functioning human being would have done.
You’re not wrong, but it’s still dishonest to say she was “shot for shoplifting”.
You’re right, turns out she was shot for not shoplifting.
Shoplifting is not a death sentence. Driving away from police is illegal, but not a death sentence. She’s trying to leave? Fine, step to the side, take her plate number, and put out a warrant. At no time was it necessary for him to pull out his gun.

Even the headline contends she did something wrong. Literally no one is saying she did nothing wrong.
But she didn’t even commit shoplifting, she was wrongfully accused and the car rolled after she was dead and her corpse failed to keep pressure on the brake.
Literally the only thing she did was fail to comply with demands to exit the vehicle and turn the steering wheel in an attempt avoid the officer before being shot.
So what she did was not listen violent and angry people who have full privilege to shoot indiscriminately and was shot for it.
I can pretend she did nothing wrong happily, because she barely did anything at all other than be a victim.
Have you got fuckig brain damage or something bud?

Vehicular assault is a misdemeanor in Ohio btw. Misdemeanors do not carry the death penalty.
Also no one was struck with the car. This young mother was murdered.
OK cop
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.

Where this occurred, calling her innocent is actually true, because she had yet to be convicted in a court of law.
That doesn’t mean she did nothing wrong.
Fun fact: she wasn’t the shoplifter. They didn’t find the stolen goods in her car.
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”.

The items she supposedly stole have been found in the shop near the exit.

You have Google. Get smart or stay stupid, your choice.
Innocent until proven guilty?

In his head, that was his tiananmen square moment
Dead tiananmen square students still received more of an education than this cop.
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
