Police who fatally shot a pregnant woman are sued by her family in Colorado
The family of a pregnant woman who was shot and killed by police in Colorado have filed a lawsuit against the police officers who were on the scene.
Destinee Thompson was supposed to be on her way to lunch with her stepmother in August 2021 when Colorado police, mistaking her for a robbery suspect, fatally shot the pregnant mother as she fled in her minivan.
You're viewing a single thread.
Snelling added that the agency later discovered Thompson had warrants out for her arrest and the autopsy found illicit drugs in her system.
Man, I hate it when the cops bring up this irrelevant bullshit. All they’re trying to do is make the victim look less sympathetic, and make themselves look less bad in comparison. Even if the officers had known about the warrants and drugs, these facts don’t make it okay to gun a woman down.
I wish reporters would flip this on the cops. "Two officers, with no active warrants, killed a woman."
Two officers, with two active affairs for abuse of power, killed a women
I wish reporters would flip this on the cops. "Two officers, with no active warrants, killed a woman."
Ha ha ha! I would LOVE that!
Remember when a cop broke into Botham Jean's apartment and shot him in the face while he was sitting on his own couch eating ice cream? Remember when afterward they had a press conference to show off the <1 gram of marijuana they found just in case that made him a bad person who deserved to die.
Yeah they had no reasonable suspicion to target her.
Running from the police with an active arrest warrant while your high is pretty relevant lol
Afaik, running from the police also isn't a reason for them to gun someone down.
