It was an unnecessary escalation. Putting your body in the way of a moving car, only to then use that as the reason to use deadly force should be against policy at any sane government organization.
- Sounded like the car was stationary/parked when the officer stood in front to block the exit. Once she started pulling forward, the officer fired through the windshield.
  Kind of disingenuous to say he “put his body in the way of a moving car.”
  
  If you have time to aim and fire, you have time to get the fuck out of the way. Killing someone behind the wheel doesn't magically cause a car to brake and put itself in park.
They have the video, the car make, model, year, her face, and she doesn't strike me as evil genius. At the very worst, you let her go for $50 worth of fucking krogers and roll up on her later. He can now be charged with manslaughter and forced abortion. I get tired of saying it; fucking pigs!
Belford said officers approached the Lexus sedan where Young was seated. He said she then started the vehicle and after two officers ordered her to get out of the car she began moving it forward.
Belford said an officer in the direct path of the car fired one shot through the windshield hitting Young.
He said officers broke the window to the car and began performing medical care.
So she deserved to die?
- How often have we seen them just lie about that shit?
- So, if there wasn't time to get out of the way. How would the officer of not been hit by the car still? I'm betting she touched the gas a tiny bit and that was enough for a death sentence.
Take. Away. Their FUCKING GUNS
Absolutely disgusting!
If you see a pregnant woman shoplifting, no you fucking didn't!
Conversely, if you see a cop murdering people, you definitely saw that and so should the rest of the world.
