The Blendon Township, Ohio police department released bodycam footage of an officer-involved shooting that took the life of Ta’Kiya Young. Young was accused of shoplifting by an employee and tried to leave the scene. CNN’s Miguel Marquez reports.

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.

    Why are we shooting shoplifters? What kind of immanent threat did she present?

        No police officer was actually struck by the car, if you read the article. The car only moved when she died, because her foot was on the brake.

        Imagine if they just got her license plate and showed up at her house and arrested her later for the misdemeanor of fleeing the scene. Everyone lives.

        With a car at a near stand still there was no risk to their life. They murdered her for shoplifting food.
