Ta'Kiya Young's family, police react to bodycam footage of fatal Blendon Township shooting

[irisblue]

Young, who was pregnant at the time of her death, was shot once and died at Mount Carmel St. Ann's a short time later from her injuries. The child she was carrying, which her family has said was a daughter due in November, did not survive.

Blendon Township previously said Young and several other people shoplifted items from the store, including liquor, after which a store employee flagged down officers who were in the parking lot on an unrelated call.

1. "Are you going to shoot me?"

Unfortunately .. yes.

2. Video here, not explicit or gory but detailed

A suspect in shoplifting, the cops decide to force her into submission instead of, say, investigating her later.

It's your classic, I have a gun and you have to do what I tell you, I don't have to explain or give any latitude whatsoever.

She slowly tried to leave her parking spot, the shooter put a bullet in her head.

He'll probably skate, leaving other cops to think that it's ok to stand in front of a car and then shoot the driver for preferring not to be there in that moment.

3. Little will happen to the cops

simply because they will say she used a vehicle (a deadly weapon) to run them over.

Remember, Columbus, OH cops tend to do this more than other cities (just saying)

4. Let the cops defund themselves.

Every law suit for civil rights violations needs to come out of their retirement funds.

5. Shoplifting?

That cop who jumped in the front of the car was just itching to play Rambo. This is over a shoplifting charge. End qualified immunity.
