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.
We need some real brave mothsfuckers for that… But it is something I want to see too… some real push back against the bullies… I can’t understand how it hasn’t started yet
So some neckbeard republicans are going to come out and say “She should have just complied”, but honestly what is the absolute worst scinerio if she WAS shop-lifting? In what world is it not a better option to just get her FUCKING CAR’S license-plate number, track her to her house, then arrest her there when she’s clearly cornered? Or just boot her car when it’s found again and force her to come to you to get it off?
Because now you’ve killed a woman and her unborn baby over some God damn groceries.
What I want to do is make a satirical video game about complying perfectly with a police officer’s requests, and show just how hard it is.
Throw in mixups where the player might be confronted by armed criminals, just to make sure players instill themselves with a sense of self-preservation.
I thought it wasn't about her shoplifting? Make up your mind.
Oh, I'm sorry. It's not about any of that, is it? It's just about whatever you need to excuse a government agent murdering an American citizen without a proper trial by jury.
Do us all a favor and never pretend you respect the United States Constitution ever again.
You can clearly see her turn the wheel away from the officer, and she doesn’t slam on the gas, she just accelerates at a normal speed. Not that that matters to you, you just love jacking off to pigs murdering people and don’t want to question for one second how shoplifting and resisting arrest is supposed to justify murder
If she was trying to run him over, she did a really shitty job. The cop put himself in front of the vehicle and she turned her steering wheel the wrong direction and didn’t slam the accelerator. I think if anything the cop was trying to be run over, not the other way around.
You’re not getting it. He wasn’t trying to defend himself, he was intentionally putting himself in a place of danger to justify murder in the name of defense.
Amazing how cops are put in that position. Putting yourself intentionally in a place of danger to do your job. We have to thank every single one of them
She clearly did not have intent. The cop just placed himself in front of the car. If he wasn’t there she still would have driven forward. She didn’t drive forward because he was there. It wasn’t intent to run him over, it was intent to flee. The cop had intent to be in the cars path though.
American fascists continue to prove their belief that property damage isn’t an acceptable response to murder, but murder is an acceptable response to property damage.
Yes. To get back to normality, we must pass through this extreme, which is the necessary counter to defunding and demonizing the police as opposed to holding only the bad ones responsible for their actions. We’ll be in this state until we remove qualified immunity. So it will probably take a while.
The governor of Florida and presidential hopeful said looters will be shot on sight. So no, it’s not where we’re headed because we’ve passed that destination and it’s normal. Property is firmly above people.
There’s a reason why Militech and Arasaka are the biggest players in the cyberpunk rpg universe. Once corporatocracy reigns supreme and public funding is gone they reap profits off private security, as intended. We’re just now seeing the horizon of “defund the police” becoming “hire a PMC as your ‘police force’”
Oh lol I’m totally aware. There was a time in history where striking didn’t mean you’d be fired but instead fired upon. Just sucks to see it now coming back full circle
Oh yeah, sure, they increase prices because of “theft.” They’re honest corporations who would never increase prices for another reason like greed or price gouging.
This is run of the mill for Ohio cops. I grew up there, I’ve seen it all my life. They are a reckless, racist, violent group of thugs with the mentality of the KGB. If you’re ever so unfortunate as to find yourself there, and in the presence of one, LEAVE. don’t do a fuckin thing that might garner their attention.
They’re also fanatical about pulling people over, they’ll pull you over for ANYTHING. and if you’re not the whitest of white, you’re gonna have a real bad time.
That’s why I kind of prefer news about convictions and sentences rather than the crimes committed. In 9 years when and if they are finally convicted I will at least know if justice was served and what the final context was.
The cop was in the front corner of the car, so I imagine it will be dismissed for self defense easily in these kinds of scenarios since the cop had a risk of being run over? Haven’t seen how other cases involving potential hits turn out in the US
She was clearly afraid when they surrounded her and drew their weapons. I mean, my god she’s black and pregnant, and surrounded by cops harassing her for a false accusation. She was terrified it was the end. It’s not her fault. It’s theirs. And she can’t take it back. Read the damn article. It went against policy for that cop to stand in front of the car in the first place.
Further, this is why cops shouldn’t even fucking have guns. They are too dumb and quick to agro to realize they shouldn’t draw it ever. Especially for such a low stakes, stupid crime. When you start with the gun, it can only get worse.
First off, I wish they would show the full uncut raw footage. People need to see the reality of getting shot.
Second, he literally just pulls the gun out and says “get out of the car.” Like, what the fuck man? Get out of the car or I’m going to shoot you? For stealing from a fucking kroger? One of the biggest businesses in the US?
Dude. This is bullshit. He needs criminal charges.
If only there was some sort of metallic plate attached to the car that could be used as an identifier, which combined with police footage of the thief could be used to safely locate them, with nobody needing to draw a gun unless there was immediate danger.
It’s a good thing you refuted my attempt to restrict people from seeing things. I was literally gouging people’s eyes out with a fork, destroying all computer screens and light bulbs, bringing a new age of permemant darkness so that nobody shall ever behold the glorious videos of preggos getting riddled with bullets… until One True Hero had the courage to Rise Up against my reign of tyranny and said,
Another benefit of protecting gun rights over everything. Now the police can say they were worried that the suspect had a gun and had to fire first. The same people that claim to support the police also make their jobs harder every day by wanting every American to be armed…well every white American.
British cops don’t even have guns. And yet they’re capable of dealing with organised mass shoplifting lbc.co.uk/…/police-descend-oxford-street-tiktok-m… I can imagine American cops machine gunning the crowd in this scenario.
Also depends who they’re stealing from though. Massive corporation… I didn’t see shit. A small family run restaurant struggling to get by then I saw it with both eyes.
Would it be okay to steal from a family-run restaurant if the family lives in a $300k house and has no real financial troubles beyond keeping up with the Jones’?
Dang - today I learned it’s okay to rob me after a lifetime of successful decisions. Noted. This is how republicans are born btw… lucky for society the grand ole wizard party is unviable nowadays!
