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.

    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.

      Same exact neck beard republican bitching is bitching about the injustice of arresting the good boys for Jan 6th.

      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.

      The argument will be that she was trying to use her car as a deadly weapon because she accelerated into an officer standing in front of the car.

      Or, you could deal with the issue when and where it arises? Seriously, some of the commenters here are trying to rewrite history.

      She drove at a police officer dude.

        She drove away from a police officer who intentionally stepped out in front of the car.

        Also that’s some grade a level hypocrisy right there.

        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
