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.
Ah, yes. Because killing a pregnant woman over groceries is totally the right move
How do those boots taste?
They didn’t kill a pregnant woman over groceries, as the video shows. She was shot while attempting to run over a police officer.
He knew what he was doing. He intentionally put himself in harm’s way and escalated the situation. So fucking what if she ran? They have her tags, they can easily trace her vehicle and find her residence, and take action when it isn’t directly putting lives at risk.
Oh no, she got away with some groceries, big fucking deal. Better than murder.
Fuck that cop, and fuck your pitiful attempt at justifying this.
That is not what this video shows. This video shows a police officer who ran in front of a car and shot a pregnant woman over some groceries.
It’s exactly what the video shows. These gymnastics are an embarrassment to people that what police reform, you make is look like idiots.
An absolutely essential part of police work is to de-escalate situations. If someone is acting erratically and pose a potential danger they’re supposed to be trained to calm them down, control the situation, and get it under control with minimal use of force. In America the work of the police is, to be fair, made harder by the fact that firearms are everywhere - situations can escalate very quickly.
However, if what starts as a pregnant lady shoplifting ends with you shooting her dead, chances are you did not do a very good job de-escalating the situation. Rather on the contrary - you escalated it a whole fucking lot.
This has nothing to do with any functional notion of police work. This is just state sponsored terror.
He could just not stand in front of the car. Write down the license plate and let her go. Or just let her go. Better than killing someone.
