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.

    How should this have been handles instead? If she really really doesn’t want to comply, You write down her license place, and you let her go.

    That simple.

    You have her face on video, you have the license plate, it’s trivial to then go visit her at her home and have a talk. Hell, follow her if you have to, but not in a high speed chase. Just keep your distance, let her go where she wants to go until she’s done.

    Worst case scenario, you just let her go.

    This extreme focus on that every petty little thing MUST be stopped, every small time offender MUST comply only ends in this. Suffering.

    Instead focus on fixing poverty and you know, making sure that pregnant women have all they need so that they don’t need to steal? That is why we banned abortion, no? Because we care about babies?

    Oh yeah that’s right. We care about unborn fetuses, but born babies can get fucked.

    Let this woman have an abortion if she can’t afford a baby. Now she doesn’t need to shoplift, at least not for the baby

    Lift people out of poverty. Push people to be better educated. THOSE are things that will actually lower crime rates but then it means they ml o longer are the common pulp that can stand on

      Worth noting that the car didn’t have plates according to the Police.

      Hardly the Police job to solve poverty?

      This 21 Year old has a 6 and 3 year old sons. I’ll let you do the math on that. But it adds up to before some states had bans.

      Regardless. They should not have drawn their guns since she didn’t pose any immediate threat.

      Regardless. Fact of the matter is that the situation only escalated after the police drew their weapons.

      Regardless, her trying to run one of the cops down is only going to end 1 way.

        First of all, red states made it next to impossible to get abortions even when it was legal. Also, they cost money. Contrary to apparent popular belief, George Soros or the DNC don’t just appear to fund every abortion. Or, sometimes people are Catholic, which is fucking stupid, but maybe there’s some family shit you don’t know about. Especially for a minor trying to get an abortion. Again, contrary to popular belief, they weren’t just being handed out for free on every corner to every 16 year old who wanted one. There were still a million obstacles long before the Dobbs decision.

        Second, “I’ll let you do the math” is a judgey, self-righteous, and gross statement.
