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.

This is murder.
She drove forward with the officer directly in front of the vehicle. Regardless of what happened previously, thats an action that could kill someone.
Isn’t it kinda stupid of the police officer to put himself in that dangerous position. He could just as well have let her go and find her later or follow her. Trying to stop a car by standing in front of it is imo. just stupid and unprofessional.
US cops are the kind to pull out a guy’s multitool, fold out the knife, put it in the guy’s hand, grab their hand and hold it at their own throat.
Then waiting for them to twitch, so they can shoot them dead.
Standing in front of the car wasn’t a smart thing to do, I agree with you there. “Let her go and find her later” isn’t really how it works though.
This exactly how it works in normal countries. She was not robing a bank she was just shop lifting. You get the license plates and invite her to court some time later.
Nah, you don’t get to just drive away from the police anywhere, sorry. Most would use less lethal means to stop her, but I don’t think any competent force would just let her leave.
That is literally the standard procedure for dealing with shoplifters.
And also this woman wasn’t the shoplifter.
The cop deliberately walked in front of her car and pointed a gun at her. She panicked. I’d probably panic too if someone pointed a gun at me. Granted, I probably wouldn’t have drove forward, but it was entirely possible for the cop to not have walked in front of her car, for him not to have pulled a gun. It seems like him pulling the gun is what caused this.
Flooring it at someone, yes. Slowly moving forward and turning away, not so much.

Yeah probably not the best to drive at police. Amazed that even needs to be said and isn’t obvious to most people
Man, there’s some cooked people in here.
You could murder an officer in cold blood and they’d find a way to justify it.
You say that in a thread about a woman murdered by an officer in cold blood. Wow.
Having someone trying to run you over isn’t “in cold blood”
Good grief.
Except that guy isn’t dead. The woman is. The cop has plenty of opportunities to do a really big part of his job, de-escalate, rather than do the opposite, position himself in front of her vehicle and immediately point a gun at her. He went right for the death threat and almost immediately delivered.
