Body camera video of the fatal police shooting of Ta’Kiya Young, a 21-year-old pregnant mother in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio, has raised questions about how an allegation of shoplifting led to a bullet being fired through her windshield.
It was unclear Saturday whether the Blendon Township Police Department has adopted a use-of-force continuum policy, which would outline measures that must be exhausted before lethal force can be used.
The video of the Aug. 24 shooting, released Friday, shows Young in her car in a parking space as a police officer orders her to exit the vehicle. A second officer is seen drawing his firearm and stepping in front of the car, despite a department policy advising officers to get out of the way of an approaching vehicle instead of firing their weapon.
Even if it works… Cars have a reputation of needing some time until they stop completely… So, breaking might not be enough to not run over the blue striped idiot who just jumped in front of a moving car thinking that was a good idea… Fucking moron. Then he killed a young family for his mistake… Now let’s watch the same people who condemn abortion defend this dumbbell’s sorry ass. It’s not murder if police does the abortion, right?
This might be because my wife is pregnant right now and this hits very close to home because of that but… Gosh I’m angry!
