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.

    But again. It isn’t policy to always immediately go after a fleeing person. You are ignoring that she steered away from the officer and he deliberately put himself in front of her. You are ignoring that she went incredibly slowly. The cops, plural, as in other cops who could have gotten in their cars and created a barricade, were also present. There were numerous things they could have done rather than murder her. But I guess it’s only the murder victim who did anything wrong and the cops are perfect.

      Listen to yourself right now. Not only are you putting words in my mouth with the “cops are perfect” shtick, but you’re completely dismissing the womans actions. You’re making an excuse for literally everything she did. Meanwhile in my replies, I’ve mentioned and even suggested ways police could have done things better.

      All cops are bad. I agree with that. But I don’t agree with “All cops are bad all the time in every situation whatsoever”.
