Shooting of Ta'Kiya Young

It is usually someone who disobeys a legitimate Law enforcement request, Stay in the Vehicle, Show me your hands, Stop etc. George Floyd was an exception.

I was stopped one time while driving in the US. Followed a friends advice. Before the officer approached from behind my left shoulder I rolled down the window and I put my hands on top of the steering wheel, fingers spread. This helps the officer relax because he /she now knows I don't have a gun pointed through the door at him. It is a very simple thing to do, anything to deescalate the situation. When he asked for my license I said " it is in my wallet in my back right pocket, may I reach back for it?" It can be that simple.

Windows up, scream at the officer and attempt to drive across them usually has bad results.

What has the color of the cops got to do with it?? That is Racism.

Shooting a shoplifter seems over the top, shooting someone who drives a car at a police officer seems reasonable.

What part of shooting an unarmed pregnant woman is anywhere reasonable for crying out loud

So is a cop with a 9mm pistol.

There was zero justification for shooting of this pregnant woman.

I know you're all about cops in America being racist etc etc but sometimes it's nothing to do with that. Sometimes it is.

In a split second decision, when someone is driving a lethal weapon at you, you do what you can to stop the threat. That's policing.

The moral is, when police are questioning you, don't drive a car at them.

They regularly gun down white and Hispanic people too. If a person of any race refuses to exit their vehicle and then drives a car at a police officer, they're more than likely getting shot.

Yeah. I was wondering about that. It seems a bit daft to put one's self in front of a moving vehicle. I've seen it in movies and it looks cool and all but it seems like a bonkers thing to do n real life. It has strong "He's coming right for us!" vibes.

SHe wasn't driving towards him at 80mph, she actually turned the wheel, as to slowly move away from the standing cop, either way death was too far a step to take, cop had a choice, take a step out of the way, or kill her, he killed her, doesn't seem like a good choice, as car kept moving, and he then stepped out of the way/

If someone doesn't follow direction, then they drive off, it doesn't give you the right to murder them, you simply take their reg, or follow them in police car, pick them up later. What is the issue, happens daily here, people driving off from police, they simply follow them, not murder them.

Does jumping in front of a moving car seem reasonable???

He didnt jump in front of a moving car though? He was standing in front of a stationary car that was then rolled towards him. I mean he probably shouldn't have been standing in front of it but who thinks driving towards a police officer like that is in any way reasonable and not going to escalate things to your detriment?
