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.

Unpopular take. This seems like a very grey case without a clear right and wrong based on the actions of the accused shoplifter in driving the car. I think there were some questionable split second decisions on both sides.
People shouldn’t die over shoplifting. It’s pretty clear this shooting was about not about the supporting, but 2 decisions made during the apprehension. 1. The suspect not surrendering and attempting to drive away. 2. The officer standing in front of the car to block egress making a decision when the car moved forward and making contact with his body.
To folks saying the cop could have stepped out of the way or not been there, Id be curious what department training states an officer should do when apprehending a suspect in a parked vehicle. Did the officer follow training and protocol?
You’re right. That is unpopular.
The officer should have gave a damn about his own life and hers and not stepped in front of a car that could run him over.
What’s the protocol and training? Did he follow it? Did the woman have any responsibility to surrender to the police? The video looks like it was a bad cascade of multiple parties making bad split second decisions.
