Ohio police release video of fatal shooting of pregnant Black woman

True. At that time when he was standing at that spot.
However, he did not shoot when his life was in danger when he stood in front of the car.
He shot her when he was safely standing next to the car.


So that's a problem for the cop and the case.

 

Untrue. There is no reason to believe she was trying to go and endanger anybody in some kind of kill scheme.

 

not sure I see your confusion, seems obvious.... the one that drove a car with no license plates

she may not of been a threat, but being a suspect and then trying to drive off in a car with no plates makes one appear to be more of a threat, regardless if they really are or not

 

They became a threat the minute they refused the lawful order of the police and ramped that up when they attempted to flee.

Why are you struggling so hard to make her out to NOT have been a threat?

 

They would have had to pursue her and that endangers the public out on those public streets, other police have to engage in that pursuit endangering them. Then if she manages to get to some location and other police have to be called in to face a standoff with possible weapons involved.

You think they should have just let her go?

 

AP says it will capitalize Black but not white | AP News

 

So the headline should read "2 BLACK Chicago residence arrested for carjacking".

But why should skin color have any bearing on the criminals or their victims?

 

OK for those of you who really thought it was important if she had stolen that liquor...well she did.

Surveillance video released Friday shows Ta’Kiya Young inside store then encountering police before fatal shooting

Some of the surveillance footage released Friday is from inside the store, and Young is seen walking around the building and placing several bottles of liquor into her handbag.

Young stands in line at the cash register before leaving with two other women, the video shows.

Alarms went off as the women exited the store, police said.

 

So everyone giving her the benefit of the doubt, hehe, and trying to blame cops for being racist can keep quiet.

The MSM are just a bunch of POS race hustlers just begging, BEGGING for violence and protests. They want it so badly so people will watch the lies they spew.

And no love loss for this person. Play stupid games win the grand prize.

 

How is pointing out that someone running over another person with a car is dangerous racist exactly?

When she tried to run over the police officer she engaged in use of a deadly weapon and became a violent fleeing felon.

Now when you can apologize for insinuating I am a racist we can continue. Got it?

 

Intention to kill with a car? Na. Usually the intention is to escape. When a cop stands in front of your vehicle to prevent escape, and you slowly inch forward and nudge them as you try to escape, that's not trying to kill them, that's trying to escape. If you gun it your intention may still be to escape, but showing reckless disregard for the life of the officer. Either way, the officer can't know which you're in the process of doing before it's too late so it was understandable to fire. BUT it was inappropriate for that officer to stand in front of her car like that. Seems like poor tactics in every way, likely to lead to injury or death of either the perp or the officer. Not worth it at all unless the person is in the process of kidnapping somebody in their car to potentially kill them, or off to use their car as a bomb to kill hundreds.

 

The problem is that the cops have no authority to just shoot to kill for the sake to stop a person from escaping, when that person is unarmed and about to put people in some kind of great bodily harm. And the way she inched her car forward while steering away from the cop shows really clear she had no intent to hurt the cop. And indeed, the cop wasn't hurt in any kind of way exactly as intended. And so what you end up with is the cops breaching 4th amendment with deadly consequences. It is so ever since Tennessee v. Garner (1985 / the Supreme Court held that the Fourth Amendment prohibits the use deadly force against a non-violent, unarmed felon who is fleeing).

 

And at what point in the video did they search her person and the car to determine she was "unarmed"? A car can be used as lethal weapon. When you try to run someone over or force them to move with one you are using lethal force.

Again they were just supposed to let her go?

It was not just inched forward but that would be enough of a threatening move against an officer trying to detain and arrest you lethal force can be used against you. Thw fact is she drove at the officer with force and intent to stop him from stopkimg her and the car became a lethal weapon and she proved she was willing tonuse such force to evade capture.
