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.

    I still blame the lady.

    In a mellow tone: “You are beeing accused of shoplifting”. “ok cya”. Hits the pedal…

    i guess we can settle on having better training is always better.

      Remind me to shoot you in the knees next time you speed 5kmh…

      This is about appropriate force. If you can’t deescalate a situation then you have no business carrying a badge and a gun.

          Exactly my point! What is wrong with these police officers that they ended up murdering a pregnant women over some petty shoplifting?

              Good point. Resisting arrest should not lead to your Death unless you’re a terrorist or serial killer or any other imminent threat to society.

              Police officers should NOT be standing in front of a car with a drawn gun to talk to a shoplifting suspect, that is insanity.

              It is what police officers with no training and a culture of “respect mah athoritay!” do and it gets people needlessly killed.

              In this case it killed a pregnant woman. You really wanna die on that hill?

                They gotta stop you somehow. The cops are supposed to bring the situation under control. Because whoelse will? The more bullshit you pull, the easier it is for the cops to run out of options.

                In this case it killed a pregnant woman.

                She is primarily responsible for her own death and the death of her baby.
