    ACAB. Publish their names. Give em life in prison without parole. Sue them in civil court and bankrupt their grandchildren’s grandchildren paying the family back for the life they stole.

    I would like to think I probably wouldn’t have shot at the woman, although I’m not sure what I would do if I had a gun in my hand and was threatened to be run over. The woman broke a bunch of laws and didn’t comply (as far as we hear from the police side of things) which was stupid but it should never have ended with her getting shot. No one should get shot unless you are actually in danger from them and honestly. They probably didn’t get enough training for the situation and panicked. It’s a sad story.

      If the threat of being run over is your justification, then why stand in front of the car in the first place? Is it really worth your life or someone else’s to defend the monetary value of a bag of Lay’s potato chips? That’s some bootlicker nonsense right there. Nothing in a grocery store is worth killing over.

      I’m not sure what I would do behind the wheel of a car if a gun was drawn and pointed towards me.

      You don’t seem like you’re enthusiastically defending the cops here, but it’s interesting that you can empathize with the cops making a bad decision because “I’m not sure what I would do if I had a gun in my hand and was threatened to be run over.” but you don’t mention that it’s also very reasonable to panic when someone is pointing a gun in your face - especially when it’s a cop and you’re a Black person in America. So, they lacked training, but she was stupid? Also, cops should not be loss prevention staff for corporations.

    If not cops then who? Fuck corporations and I agree it shouldn’t result in taking your gin out on someone but they were trying to do their job and did it poorly.
