Bodycam: Pregnant woman accused of shoplifting shot by police

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.

Debate it.
Running from police in a high crime area used to be considered probable cause.
That's changing now because running from police in a high crime area is an eminently reasonable thing to do even if you're innocent.
If the tactic is demonstrably employed as a pretextual justification to kill nonviolent criminal suspects, than it's reasonable to say that statutory law of resisting arrest should be the thing that breaks, not the natural law of self defense.
You want me to debate against someone saying you should floor it any time police walk in front of your car??
I can't think of any other reason for a cop to place himself in front of a car. It's dangerous and it's not going to stop a car. It really only can be to provide an excuse for deadly force.
So every time a cop steps in front of someone's car they're planning on executing them...
Nah. If a pig wants to kill me, I’m doing my damndest to make sure it comes with me
If you floor it and run into a cop just because they walk in front of your car, you deserve to get shot because the cop would be defending themselves.
If dude’s aiming a gun at my face cause of some groceries?? He deserves what he gets.
Maybe try de-escalating instead of over-escalating. In NO situation should a suspected shoplifting end in a murder.
If she tried to run, guess what? They can literally just track her down and move to arrest when lives aren’t in danger.
He unnecessarily and intentionally put himself in harm’s way, in an intense situation with a terrified suspect. He knew what he was doing.
Fuck off with your tyrant apologia bullshit.
You're a violent moron.
Holy fucking irony.
Where have I advocated violence or said something moronic?
“ you deserve to get shot”
Are those not your words?
Now you shouldn't be using his own words against him. That just makes him look like an idiot.
If someone tries to run someone over on order to get away with stealing, they deserve to get shot. I'm not advocating violence.
It isn't to get away with shoplifting. It's to avoid being executed without even a trial over shoplifting. They're going to try to kill you no matter what you do in that scenario; might as well try to get out with your life.
Let me put in a scenario you might understand. Mobsters are regularly jumping in front of cars, shooting the person driving, and then stealing the car. A mobster jumps in front of your car and points a gun at your head. What do you do?
Supporting cops
Oh, oof, owwie
Why do you all care so much if you're upvoted or not?
Yeah it didn’t take long, every thread is filled with this bullshit
