I realize there’s another post of this already, but this is a longer video with a better view.

Edit: Changed the post so it no longer points to Youtube. Thanks u/Canconda! Original link was https://youtu.be/K9CJY5p0xz4

    I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and presume you don’t understand what the words “offensive maneuver” mean.

    She was not attacking them. She was clearly trying to leave when an officer violently tried to forcefully remove her from her car.

    Fleeing the scene, even when committing was a crime, is not enough to justify deadly force.

    There’s plenty of court cases to look up if you’re uncertain how the American law system works. But I suspect this isn’t something you actually care about.

    Their lives were not threatened.

    She didn’t have to die.

          Thanks for this final comment. There really isn’t anything further to say to the person or bot or whatever it is.

          They don’t understand how and when deadly force is actually authorized. The US, as bad as it as it today, isn’t a country like Afghanistan. Contrary to all the attempts to change that, it’s not how things work there (or at least generally).

          I wish the US the best, because things there have become such a mess. This is a huge travesty I can only hope justice ultimately prevails.
