Ohio police release video of fatal shooting of pregnant Black woman

Well I'm sure not trying to be, but this seems cut and dried to me, and the pushback I'm getting, including from you, is to basically let the woman go.

That simply doesn't make sense to me. There wasn't a public safety issue as mentioned previously, so I'm seriously not getting what kind of policing you imagine that doesn't pursue or detain a suspect if they give any sort of resistance. I think the percentage of suspects who resist when either being detained or arrested is already pretty high, and your suggestion is simply to not attempt to detain or arrest if they resist.

 

I could make up lies about you too, but that would not be nice, please do not make up lies about me, thanks

I have been clear, she did wrong, the cops could have handled this better and no, she was not "trying to run him down"

 

Then I have no idea what you think you've been fighting with me about.

 

all I did was point out she was an "Alleged" shoplifter, as so far we have not heard there was any alcohol found in the car, the police refuse to say

I also said she was not trying to run down the cop

but if we agree on the post you replied too, we all good

 

Didn't we already discuss that there has been no mention of finding any alcohol in the car? That doesn't seem germane to this. And as far as the car, I guess she may not have had an intent to run down the officer, but she did have an intent of placing her car in the position that the officer occupied.

 

My argument is more complex than just letting her go. She should be in jail for shoplifting, not dead. There were other options that I have previously voiced. We all here are against shoplifting and agree that laws need to be enforced. What we don’t all agree upon is whether or not there were other options that may have ended with her in jail as opposed to the morgue. I say yes, there were other options. Seems you disagree.

 

I never said that nor is that my position.

 

It’s exactly what happened. And yes, we all saw the video,

 

Yes she absolutely was trying to run him down which earned her an early death unfortunately.

 

Very easy. Imagine the cop gets back into the car and then parks the car in front of hers so she cannot leave. Or the cop goes back to the car after talking the manager, grabs the spikes and lays it out in front of her car.

 

Then she drives over the spikes and continues to flee until she wrecks and kills another family…all so the left can then complain that the officers didn’t stop her.

 

Yes she was trying to pull out of the parking space, not try to run the cop over. She would have went forward if that was the case, correct?

 

Oh like how they shot her anyways and the car went a distance before crashing into a building? What if the car had hit a kid?

 

She did go forward, right at the cop. There was no where for her to go but over a cop.

 

That would be her fault. The entire situation was.

 

I swear the cop haters here think that the police should've waited for the cop to get run over before they should be allowed to shoot.

She was moving the vehicle at the officer, that's a threat to his life because if she hits the gas, he's dead most likely. Sorry, you don't have to wait for that to happen to justify defending yourself. The threat was there, the shooting was justified.

And to anybody claiming that she was shot because of shoplifting, stop lying. The cops were there because of shoplifting but she most certainly was not shot because of shoplifting. When you need to lie to make a point, you have no point.

 

Exactly.

It’s like the leftist praised headlines recently claiming “black mother assaulted by white police officer over parking violation “. When the officer only initiated contact over a parking violation but forcibly detained her after she struck him in the chest.

I wish leftists were able to look past the surface level analysis.

 

"Black mother arrested after assaulting police officer" doesn't have the same ring to it...gotta get those views and clicks

 

She turned the wheel to avoid him. If there is something directly in font of you, which direction does the car go when you turn the wheel?

 

More like both. Cop wanted to use his body to block the car instead of parking the police car in front of the lady's car. We need to demand cops be extra cautious around women of child bearing age.

 

actually it does, it means she committed no crime, she was falsely accused

she tried to avoid the officer, but the officer put himself in a position that he could legally kill her, why the officer did that, we will never know

 

she could have handled the situation better, the cops could have handled the situation better

neither the cop or the women thought the other would kill them

the cop would not of stepped in front of the car if he actually thought she was gonna run him over

 

A flat tire doesn’t stop them from moving. They done the best thing they possibly could have. Why would anyone defend a someone trying to actively run over a peace officer? Why wouldn’t she comply? She was accused of stealing while in a car with the license plate removed, and parked in a handicapped spot for easy get away. I think the trash got taken out if you ask me.

 

The cop stepped in front of the car to try and stop her from leaving with his gun drawn. If that’s not enough to stop her and she continues to try and run him over he is well within his right to defend himself with deadly force. How is a cop suppose to detain anyone if you permit her behavior?

 

The mother was also guilty of reckless endangerment of a child and murder by her actions.
