What does it matter if she was white or black? THIS is the kind of talk that divides everyone, shame on you for reporting in this manner!!!
Could this have been avoided? Yes, and by both parties.
1/ She is pregnant, but is out shop lifting alcohol, not food to survive, but alcohol.
2/ She has been challenged by the police officer, which he has every right to do if he suspects she is involved in a crime.
3/ Another police officer places himself in front of the car in aid to stop her driving away.
4/ she fails to comply and starts to drive forward.
5/ At this point, the officer could have just stepped to the side and let the car go.
Now, they had a couple of options here.
6/ Step aside and then let her drive off, because they have her number plate, make and model of her car, colour etc and body cam footage. They could pick her up later at home or put out a warrant for her arrest.
7/ step out of the way and shoot the vehicles tyres in order to disable her vehicle and slow her down while they follow her in their vehicle.
Shooting a person for shop lifting some alcohol is a bit extreme. Yes, she was wrong, she was a thief, and yes she tried to get away and yes, her mother should have taught her better. But to shoot a person for these reasons has to be questioned.
Prayers for the officer and baby
Stealing isn't worth your life.
So police are judge jury and executioner for stealing? USA is Fd up , out of control murderers in uniform
Such bull crap.. the media is doing such a good job of pinning black vs white in cops vs citizens..liberal media should be checked on their slander.. stuff like this doesn't help innocent white people because people take their anger and aggression out on..
Shooting/killing a woman for shoplifting unbelievable. He put himself in danger standing in front of the car. Had her reg. Could of arrested her later. No respect for life.
How could anyone look at this and think that he should be prosecuted? He's in front of the car, and she chose to drive forward, knowing she could run him over… What?
I don’t like cops but I don’t know about this one
When I fist head about this yesterday , i thought, oh no here we go again , disproportionate use of force , but if I’m honest , im with the cop on this one .
Being charged with a crime and being convicted of that crime are two different things now aren't they?
No one is worth killing forcshoplifting!!!!for shoplifting!!!!! What this officer did was cruel and senseless. There are millions of businesses that allow thugs to come in and to their stores and shoplift and do nothing to stop it. ROSS STORE condones the shoplifting. The officer should be charged given the death sentence because he killed two lives.
She didn’t brandish a weapon, there wasn’t no point to use deadly force against a woman that weighed less than him. Jury was justified
Ok, maybe she was in the wrong to be stealing alcohol or whatever, but I think to lose your life over shoplifting is overly extreme and uncalled for, the police officer was over stepping his authority and used unnecessary force to stop this young lady…stop and think about how you would feel if something like this happened to you? And don't say, I would stop and listen to the police, think about maybe a family member? We don't know what is going on in anyone else's life…don't know why she wanted to leave and will we really know why he decided to shoot her?
Maybe her family who are 'crying' should have taught their kids not to steal & actually be a law abiding citizen….
Another waste of taxypayer dollars for a nonsense prosecution of a police officer responding to a crime…
it's sad that Americans no longer understand that a gun being pulled on you is a last resort kind of thing…was this last resort??? At least give her the privilege of standing trial in court…THE POLICE SHOULD NOT BE EXECUTIONERS, ITS ILLEGAL !
Free 👮
This what happens when you steal BM from BW. Who will take care of BW?
He could of taken her plates info & took care of the issue sensibly.
Reporting her to the proper authorities due to drinking alcohol while pregnant as well.
I could talk criminals into behaving when I was a deputy as I never played judge & juror. "Protect & Serve" does not mean playing "god".
This is BS. She didn’t have to be a pos stealing, ignoring lawful orders, and attempting to run over an officer! You have to be kidding me! Raise your children better!!!!!
I dont like fake jews
Fake
I remember this, she tried to run over a cop, rather than just take a ticket for shoplifting.
acab= 2x homicide + acquited
Sooooo did they find the shop lifted items ??
Wow this is disgusting getting shot all because of steeling from shop ..no cop shouod pull out gun for this petty crime
Havent seen evidence well shouod look at video mr copper
OMG😮.
Yeah, this is Just too Appease The Black Community In America. This Woman is Clearly and Technically in The Wrong. All She had to do is Stop and Show her Receipt and The Associated Goods to the Officers. She instead Tried To Run, by using her Vehicle push or Run The Police Officer over. This is not an isolated incident, this Community does not see the Police as Authoritative Figures. They seem to think, their Community Runs The Streets. Any Competent Lawyer can get this Guy a Lesser Charge Or a Not Guilty, in My Opinion..! 🤔🤔😇😇
