Myself, I wouldn't shoot a pregnant lady in the chest because she drove away from a punk with a foul mouth who was banging on her window.
I'm not saying all cops are bastards but the people hiring and training them most likely are.
Also, I am in favor of law enforcement but not Judge Dredd style. I just watched the body cam shooting video and I can say that it wasn't the gun that murdered her.
Yes murdered, and before you knee jerk at me remember that most cops other than the county sheriff are enforcers for a corporation or a state.
Grown men with badges and clubs and patrol cars and radios and training and backup can't stop a pregnant lady in a sedan without shooting her in the chest.
Cops are cops and crooks are crooks, but poorly trained murderous cowards are poorly trained murderous cowards. The George Floyd cop needs to be free and the trigger happy zit faced punk that shot this lady in the chest needs to take his place in prison along with his boss.
That's my opinion FWIW, and I won't be back to argue.
A car can absolutely be a deadly weapon, but in this specific scenario, i agree that this woman and her unborn child didn't need to die. The officer stepped in front of the vehicle, and shot her in the chest as she barely accelerated (maybe idled) toward his direction. Although there may have been a threat to the public if a chase through a crowded parking lot ensued. Kind of a tough one in my opinion. But I'm a mouth breather so
I haven't seen the video, but how was the cop supposed to have known she was even pregnant? The one who shot her was standing in front of the vehicle, all he'd have been able to see was her head and hands on the steering wheel. I assume she might have yelled "I pregnant, I pregnant!" to try and emotionally manipulate the cops into letting her go.

Meh, future crime prevention. Need to break some eggs to make an omelette.

"I haven't seen the video,"..
Well there you go.
This.
