Ohio police release video of fatal shooting of pregnant Black woman

And as I've said a couple of times, it's irrelevant.

 

If you think in this situation that was a viable option, OK.

 

"uninformed"? I would call it purposely misinformed. Theyve worked very hard to convince people that the cops are racist.

 

That’s because you likely didn’t read the local news and only got this story from national outlets who are interested in politics over facts. I do it sometimes too so don’t be too surprised. It happens. Here is a source.

as I have said, very relevant, as it means she was innocent of what she was being accused of if so

 

thank you, that explains why they did not let her go.... that is important information to know

regardless if she stole alcohol, she was committing a crime right there, which would make her appear as more of a threat, that was a missing piece of the puzzle to this story

 

She tried and was shot for it.

 

Well of course. The mother didn't choose to be unpregnant. Since her liberties were violated, then yes. That's how that's always worked.

 

I mean, she is innocent until proven guilty. So alleged shoplifter. Unless it's been proven.

Define attempt. Because if you stand in front of a car, you are risking your life to stop said car, so clearly the police officer valued whatever goods she alleged took more than his own life. I wouldn't do that. Would you?

 

I think your point is that there should have been no attempt to detain her if she resisted.

 

Actually they are looking for not ANYONE getting killed including themselves.

Another case of a suspect escalating a stop and ending up dead for refusing to comply and attempting to harm even kill a police officer executing their lawful and REQUIRED duty.


"It should go without saying that if a police officer is standing in front of your vehicle with his firearm drawn, you should not plow into him — even if you are innocent. It’s just a simple truism. Ta’Kiya Young’s decision in that moment unquestionably resulted in her death. "

Doesn't matter a twit, they had probable cause.

 

She KNOCKED HIM OFF HIS FEET with the now deadly weapon.

From previous cite

"Sean Walton, the attorney hired by Young’s family, claimed Young was “unarmed.” Walton could be competing with Ben Crump for the country’s most dishonest ambulance chaser who earns a living by stoking racial animosity. Walton must have been busy jogging behind an ambulance when a terrorist in France murdered 86 people by running them over with a truck. Vehicles become weapons the moment they are weaponized. "

 

If someone like the guy in France I just cited to you is using their car to mow down people YES someone with a firearm can legally use it to try and stop the person with that lethal force.

 

So the police should just let them go riding off into the sunset? Why even call the Police then?

And police know that when a suspect they are trying to detain resist that detention they probably have outstanding warrants already.

 

Probable cause is all the police needed, if she wants her day in court then comply with the detention and if evidence supports it the arrest.

The storeowner witnessed the ship lifting and pointed her out to the police as she tried to exit. What more do they need to detain her?

The moment the police approach the car they are risking their lives, them moment the suspect they are attempting to detain refusing to comply that risk goes up EXPONENTIALLY. They did exactly as the are trained to do, one officer communicates with the suspect while the other covers. In the case the office stood in front, possibly blackout side windows, and was in full view of the suspect with his weapon drawn. They did not shoot her because she shoplifted why do you misrepresent as such?

 

So what?

Did the officers have probable cause to detain her? Yes.

Did she comply with their lawful orders? No.

At that point whether she had stolen merchandise in the car is of no importance. Their probable cause has just ramped up exponentially including their own safety.

Did she then attempt to harm one of the officers, possibly seriously and even death? Yes. Now a SERIOUS FELONY and she has just labeled her self a dangerous fugitive.

Why can't you simply admit SHE caused her OWN death.

 

Where is a bulletproof windshield when you need one?

 

You think that if she had had a license plate number they would have let her go????? REALLY????

 

You think she should have been allowed to flee?

 

This is the problem w/ police. They figure since *they* know what to do everyone does and can follow through. But not everyone is built for dealing with deadly armed government gangs, so anything can happen. Not every criminal needs to be caught the moment of, and 50 bux worth of alchohol isn't a reason to put your life on the line, let alone kill someone. Just move out of the way and try and nab her later.

Wish cops would put this kind of effort towards big-deal crime.

 

Once she accelerated, the cop had reason to believe that his life was in danger...

 

did you read what I wrote, if she had a license plate, she may have been seen as less of a threat is what I said... may have changed the way they approached the situations

 

Well who is responsible for that?

 

And the lives of others is she escaped.
