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.

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.
