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.

This is murder.

    Even if that were true, and it arguably wasn’t true, don’t you think that maybe the police escalated the situation to that point?

      Possibly, but it doesn’t change the fact she behaved poorly, to put it mildly.

      People here are making out like it is a cold blooded execution.

        It is a cold-blooded execution.

        He got in front of the car, said get out, then shot her.

        Let’s be real. You know all of this and are just apologetic because you: love cops, hate shoplifting, hate black people, or any combination of the three.

        You’re not mature or genuine enough to admit it. And I don’t hold you above that behavior.
