Bodycam: Pregnant woman accused of shoplifting shot by police | CNN

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.

    She did escalate the situation, but she didn’t cause her own death. Shooting someone who is running away is some old west sheriff shit. She was trying to drive away, not hit the officers. The only situation that a cop should shoot someone is if their life is in direct and immediate danger.

      Didn’t see the bodycam, just went off what others said. I was under the impression she was flooring it straight at police officers blocking the exit. Removed my comment.
