Bodycam shows Ohio cops were in no danger as they killed black pregnant woman for alleged shoplifting
Ta'Kiya Young, 21, appears to advance the car towards an Ohio officer before a single shot is fired.
One officer is seen standing at her door and repeatedly telling her to "get out of the car".
"For what?" she responds twice, adding: "I'm not going to do that."
One officer seen in front of the car has his left hand on the hood, his gun drawn in the other hand.
"Are you going to shoot me?" she says moments before a single shot is fired and the officer quickly moves out of the car's path.
The cop who killed her was in no danger, and has time to casually stroll out of the way of the vehicle.
What he doesn't have is a name or a face — as often happens, the police haven't been named, and their faces have been blurred in the video.
Why?
If they weren't cops — if they were just a pair of random dudes killing a black pregnant woman, and there was video footage — would their names remain secret, their faces blurred?
You're viewing a single thread.
I don't see the need to immediately gun someone down. She's in a car for fuck's sake, note down the plate and visit her when she's calmed down.
With that kind of thinking, you'll never make it as a cop — a high compliment indeed.
You're right, I should always preface my questions with shooting.

Then let her go, because the alleged crime isn't worth escalating the situation to the point where someone could be harmed. Follow the car if you need to, but in this case you probably don't need to. The cops had no need to escalate the situation, but they enjoy it.
