Ta'Kiya Young, 21, appears to advance the car towards an Ohio officer before a single shot is fired.

Less than one minute. The police weren’t even called there for her, they were in the parking lot for an “unrelated call.” And why was an officer standing in front of her car leaning on the hood holding a gun in her face in the first place? There are so many things wrong with this.

    7-months pregnant woman being part of a gang of thieves

    That’s possibly the only part of this that I could understand: some people use the “fake pregnant” or “fake obese” strategy to fit in more stuff under their clothes… so just by seeing someone who “looks like” they’re pregnant, you can’t “rule out” them being a thief.

    Shooting even a confirmed thief, still isn’t justified.
