WorldWideLemBodycam: Pregnant woman accused of shoplifting shot by police
sugarfreeThe video totally clears the police, as I expected. She thought she had the right to run over a police officer to avoid getting arrested for a very minor crime. She chose to put his life at risk by using her car as a weapon and she paid the price for it. Horrible, horrible decision by her.
BluJay320Ah, yes. Because killing a pregnant woman over groceries is totally the right move
How do those boots taste?
They didn’t kill a pregnant woman over groceries, as the video shows. She was shot while attempting to run over a police officer.
He knew what he was doing. He intentionally put himself in harm’s way and escalated the situation. So fucking what if she ran? They have her tags, they can easily trace her vehicle and find her residence, and take action when it isn’t directly putting lives at risk.
Oh no, she got away with some groceries, big fucking deal. Better than murder.
Fuck that cop, and fuck your pitiful attempt at justifying this.
gregorumThat is not what this video shows. This video shows a police officer who ran in front of a car and shot a pregnant woman over some groceries.
It’s exactly what the video shows. These gymnastics are an embarrassment to people that what police reform, you make is look like idiots.

If self awareness was a disease you’d be the healthiest person alive.
What are you even trying to say?
Obviously something too far beyond your meager comprehension.
Quit the platitudes, what am I not self-aware of?
A whole lot apparently.
Nothing apparently, since you can’t say anything of substance about it
Oh no, don’t confuse my joy over seeing you wallow in your self inflicted ignorance as not having an answer for you. I just don’t think it would do you any good.
Blah blah blah just can’t say it because your had no point
Just because you’re not smart enough to get the point doesn’t mean there isn’t one, it’s obvious there’s a lot of things you don’t get.
If you can’t even explain what you mean then I’ll assume you meant nothing. Find a better use for your time than trolling.
Find a better use for my time than amusing myself? No, I’m having a jolly time watching you squirm in ignorance while everyone else points and laughs.
Lol. He’s saying you’re not self-aware.
Need to brush up on that reading comprehension, do we?
Police reform in this case could be as simple as “don’t jump in front of a car over a gallon of milk.”
linearchaosClearly wasn’t trying to run over him, was clearly fleeing.
The car was moving very slowly. The cop had a choice. Get out of the way and arrest her later, or go straight to extra-judicial execution. He made the wrong choice.
sabAn absolutely essential part of police work is to de-escalate situations. If someone is acting erratically and pose a potential danger they're supposed to be trained to calm them down, control the situation, and get it under control with minimal use of force. In America the work of the police is, to be fair, made harder by the fact that firearms are everywhere - situations can escalate very quickly.
However, if what starts as a pregnant lady shoplifting ends with you shooting her dead, chances are you did not do a very good job de-escalating the situation. Rather on the contrary - you escalated it a whole fucking lot.
This has nothing to do with any functional notion of police work. This is just state sponsored terror.
He could just not stand in front of the car. Write down the license plate and let her go. Or just let her go. Better than killing someone.
No license plate on the car, the thief came prepared.
That means there’s no other way to identify her, even with body cam and store cameras.
She’d be in Mexico by morning.
Then let her go. People steal for a reason
