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.

    And?

    Everybody has to start somewhere and there are different types of police officers. Those that write only parking tickets do not have the same level of training as the ones with the guns.They still receive better training than anywhere in the US and there are still factors less killings every day by police than in the US.

    It may not be perfect but it’s not THAT bad

      You’re speaking as if I’m saying anything about whether that’s good or bad. All I did was offer the correction that European police aren’t necessarily well educated.

        My bad. I just read another comment complaining THAT UK police was the same as the US. I thought your comment was a continuation of that
