The Blendon Township, Ohio police department released bodycam footage of an officer-involved shooting that took the life of Ta’Kiya Young. Young was accused of shoplifting by an employee and tried to leave the scene. CNN’s Miguel Marquez reports.

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.

      Uh huh. Probably.

      Depending on poverty levels, she actually might have to. Not saying shoplifting is fine, but it might help to keep in mind that if people cat fed their children the legal way that they will move to crime to do so. Whether they caused their own situation (at least in part) or not doesn’t matter in that equation.

      Also, again, you don’t murder somebody (actually, somebodies, according to their own laws as she was pregnant) for stealing a few items. There are better ways of handling that.

      None of the wrongs she did justify what happened
