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.

    This doesn’t excuse her behavior. But the cops are NOT justified either.

    You’re far more level headed than most of the commenters here. Yeah, the police could definitely have handled this better as well.

      Given your capacity for intelligence you’re probably below the max IQ limit for hiring US cops, you should apply, you get to shoot innocent unarmed civilians for misdemeaner crimes while pretending that your own life threatening actions were their fault and you still get the advantage of other braindead troglodytes like yourself defending your murder of a non shoplifter for non compliance, for a crime with no death penalty.

      Judge Dredd wasn’t a guidebook on policing you deranged bootlicking homunculus.
