she shouldn't have accelerated with a cop or anyone in front of them. the video in slow motion shows the cops feet being lifted off the ground from her driving forward


the cop who shot has a defense now that she tried to run him over. im guessing the cop will get off. lets see how this plays out in court

nikkas on the Coli will diss liberal cities like San Francisco that don’t prosecute shoplifters but letting those people go avoids situations like this.

TLDR: She would still be alive if this happened in San Francisco

Newly released police body camera footage shows an officer firing through the windshield of a pregnant woman’s car after she was accused of shoplifting at a grocery store in a Columbus, Ohio, suburb last week.

Ta’kiya Young, 21, was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

The video shows a Blendon Township police officer approaching Young’s driver’s side window outside a Kroger in Westerville and repeatedly telling her to get out of the car.

A second officer, who is also wearing a body camera, then steps in front of the vehicle.

“They said you stole something….get out of the car,” the officer at the window says, telling Young not to leave.

“I didn’t steal sh*t,” Young can be heard saying as the two argue back and forth with her window slightly ajar.

Police previously said a grocery store employee had notified police officers a woman who had stolen bottles of alcohol was in a car parked outside the store.

“Get out of the f**king car,” the officer standing in front of the car says, with his gun drawn and his left hand braced on the hood of the car, the video shows.

Young can then be seen turning the wheel of the car as the officer next to her window continues to urge her to exit the vehicle.

“Get out of the f**king car,” the officer in front of the car repeats as the vehicle begins to move slowly forward, the video shows.

A few seconds elapse and then the officer standing in front of the hood fires into the vehicle.

After the shot is fired, the officers run alongside the car yelling at the driver to stop.

The car rolls onto a sidewalk between two brick columns and into a building.

Police then call for backup and work to break the window to get to the driver, who appears to be slumped over to one side.

The body camera footage released by the Blendon Township Police Department blurred the faces of the officers. The footage is also edited and spliced together.

Young was pregnant at the time of her death and the fetus did not survive, the Franklin County Coroner’s Office previously said. Her cause of death is pending.

Police say the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is conducting an independent investigation of the incident.

The BCI probe could take “several weeks or months,” according to Steve Irwin, the press secretary for the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, which includes BCI. After investigators finish the examination, their findings will be forwarded to the county prosecutor who will make a decision on pursuing any potential charges, he said.

“Having viewed the footage in its entirety, it is undeniable that Ta’Kiya’s death was not only avoidable, but also a gross misuse of power and authority,” lawyers representing Young’s family said in a news release.

“After seeing the video footage of her death, this is clearly a criminal act and the family demands a swift indictment of this officer for the killings of both Ta’Kiyah and her unborn daughter,” they said.

Police say the officers haven’t “waived their rights as victims” in this incident and are withholding their identities, according to a news release from Blendon Township police.

“When Ms. Young drove her car directly at Officer #1, striking him, Officer #1 became a victim of attempted vehicular assault,” police said in a news release.

“When Ms. Young pulled away from Officer #2 while his hand and part of his arm was still in the driver’s side window, Officer #2 became a victim of misdemeanor assault,” they said in the news release.


Authorities said the officers worked quickly to help Young after the shooting, saying EMS was called 10 seconds after she was taken out of the car. The officer who fired the shot also grabbed a trauma kit and applied a chest seal to her wound in under two minutes after she was removed from the vehicle.

The officer who fired his weapon is still on administrative leave, but the second officer who was at the window is back at work. Chief John Belford said after he reviewed the videos, he didn’t see a reason to keep the second officer on leave.

“I returned him to duty, as our staffing is already very limited,” he said, noting both officers would still be subject to a “full administrative review” after the BCI investigation.

“Last week, there was a tragedy in our community,” Belford said in a statement. Due to potential pending litigation, he says the department is “very limited in what we can say.”

“We’re being as transparent and forthcoming as we can, given these significant legal constraints.” He cited an ongoing BCI investigation and potential “personnel actions” regarding the officer who opened fire.

The local police union said others would make any decisions regarding whether either officer is charged in the incident. But, Brian Steel, executive vice president of Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge #9, noted “a weapon is not just a firearm. A weapon is also a 2000-pound vehicle that somebody puts in gear and is driving at you.”

“I understand why it could be justified but, again, I don’t make that decision,” Steel said at a news conference Friday, adding he was assuming the officer believed he could not get out of the way of the vehicle quickly enough.

The Blendon Township Police Department’s use of force policy says when it’s “feasible,” officers should take “reasonable steps” to get out of the way of an approaching vehicle instead of firing a weapon.

“An officer should only discharge a firearm at a moving vehicle or its occupants when the officer reasonably believes there are no other reasonable means available to avert the imminent threat of the vehicle, or if deadly force other than the vehicle is directed at the officer or others,” the policy says.


fukking disgusting ass pig clearly scared her by pointing his gun at her. shooting her because he thought he was going to get run over makes no sense either... how is shooting and killing the driver going to stop the car? should have just moved out of the way you fukking murderer.

:scust:
This is one of the main reasons I hate MAGA’s and the c00ns who worship them. These literal murderers of a woman whose rights were violated, are claiming to be victims. These are the same MAGA’s who holler about their rights being trampled because they were asked to wear a mask or get a shot to stop a pandemic but turn up their noses at us black folks like this woman who’s rights were completely spit on like millions of other black people when dealing with the police. But what do cacs say:sas1: why can’t y’all just listen to the police and do what they say, well if that’s the case why can’t cacs listen to their government, shut the fukk up and do what they are told:jbhmm: what’s good for the goose is good for the gander:mjpls:

cops shouldn't be allowed to use deadly force or position themselves in a way to escalate a minor situation like this into a deadly confrontation.

the cop knew if he put himself directly in front of the car then he could shoot her at any sign of the car rolling forward. that would make it look justifiable. but this was an alleged shoplifting crime that they escalated into a homicide because they place no value on black lives.

i don't care that "we should know how the cops get down". this is wrong. can't keep letting cops be judge, jury, and executioner.

i still can't find an article that clearly states that she stole something or if she was the specific person the store employees said stole something.
Not trying to come at you like that because it doesn’t seem you are saying in that way but It doesn’t matter if she stole everything in that store. The crime for shoplifting is never justifiable by death.

i agree with you, i don't even think that's what he's saying tho. usually in these situations they will leak the security video of her stealing from the grocery store to try and throw dirt on the victim's reputation, it seems like they don't even have that.

Don’t steal

Simple as that

They should have de escalated it but still cause and effect

I’ve seen white people do worse and get off
I hope the police surround your car and accuse you of some bullshyt that you didn’t do without zero proof and see how you react. Those like you who don’t listen must feel and if there is a god I hope he humbles you to your core in hopes of making you worth more than the trash pile of a human you are now. :pacspit:
