Why are we shooting shoplifters? What kind of immanent threat did she present?
I'm just relieved that the property was protected.
The shareholders would lose 0.000000001% profit
You joke, but this number is probably still too high. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if shareholders technically lost money due to the interruption of potential customers by all the commotion.
The hitting a cop with a car part
With a car at a near stand still there was no risk to their life. They murdered her for shoplifting food.
She escalated the situation but there was never enough space for this to be a risk of a fatality.
Well I suppose you're right, pointing a firearm at someone doesn't mean you're gonna kill them and isn't escalating the situation.
No police officer was actually struck by the car, if you read the article. The car only moved when she died, because her foot was on the brake.
Imagine if they just got her license plate and showed up at her house and arrested her later for the misdemeanor of fleeing the scene. Everyone lives.
Her driving at the officer is a pretty immediate risk....
No it isn't. The distance she could travel was not sufficient to achieve the force needed to make a lethal incident possible. Unless the cop decided to place their head in front of the wheel there is no way for the car to kill them.
A car at rest vs unhinged cops with loaded guns who have no issue killing.... Hmmm 🤔
Maybe next time I go hunting instead of bringing a gun, I'll just bring a car.
To be fair, it's often said, if you want to get away with murder, do it with a car... Sprinkle some bicycle next to the body for good measure.
