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.
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
