      XPost: oh.general, rec.autos.driving, alt.niggers       XPost: talk.politics.guns, sac.politics, alt.law-enforcement       From: remailer@domain.invalid              Body camera footage showing the moments before the fatal shooting       last week of a pregnant woman by an Ohio police officer was released       Friday.              Ta’Kiya Young, 21, was suspected of shoplifting and confronted by       two police officers in an Ohio grocery store parking lot on Aug. 24.       After repeatedly being asked to get out of her vehicle by the two       officers, one of whom pointed a gun at her, Young slowly accelerated       her car toward an officer, who police said was struck.              An officer fired through her windshield and Young was pronounced       dead shortly before 7:45 p.m., according to the Franklin County       Coroner’s Office.              The body camera video, which Young's family viewed before its       release Friday morning, shows an officer approach a car with Young       in the driver's seat.              "Out of the car," the officer can be heard saying multiple times.              "For what?" Young asks.              "They said you stole stuff. Do not leave," he responds.              A second officer then stands in front of Young’s car, puts his hand       on the hood, and eventually points his gun at her through the front       windshield.              "I didn't steal s---," Young says.              "Then get out," the first officer says.              The officer standing in front of Young's car is then seen pointing       his gun toward her.              “Get out of the f---ing car,” the second officer says.              "No," Young is heard saying, followed by, "You gonna shoot me?"              "Get out of the car," the first officer responds while banging on       Young's window with one hand and grabbing the slightly opened window       with the other.              Seconds later, Young is seen turning her steering wheel and driving       off. A sound is heard, as the officer in front of the car fires into       the windshield at close range and moves to the driver's side.              It's not clear where Young was shot. A scream is heard as the car       continues to drive away at a slow speed.              "Shots fired!" the first officer is heard saying. "Stop the God d--m       car!"              The second officer appears to attempt to steer or stop the car until       it hits the facade of the grocery store.              The officers then break the driver's window, and the footage comes       to an end.              The officers called emergency services seconds after getting her out       of the car and attempted to help Young by applying a seal to her       wound to stop the bleeding, Blendon Township Police Chief John       Belford said in a statement.              In a statement, Young's family and their lawyer said the shooting       "is clearly a criminal act" and demanded "a swift indictment" of the       officer who shot her.              "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," the statement read. "As if the pain of losing       Ta’Kiya isn’t enough, we must grapple with the knowledge that her       unborn daughter was also robbed of her life in this hateful act."              Young "was a beacon of love, strength, and energy to all who knew       her," her family said.              "Her tragic passing has left a void that words can’t describe,       especially for her two young sons, who must now grow up without the       love and guidance of their mother, and while coming to understand       the circumstances that led to her homicide," the statement read.              The officer who fired the shot has been placed on administrative       leave. The other officer was initially also placed on administrative       leave but returned to duty after Belford viewed body camera footage       and saw no reason to keep him on leave, he said.              Both officers involved in the incident have not been identified.              In a statement, Belford said Young drove her car directly into one       of the officers and he "fired a single shot through the windshield,"       which led to her death. According to Belford, the officer is a       victim of attempted vehicular assault.              Young also drove away while part of the other officer's arm was in       the driver's side window, making him a victim of misdemeanor       assault, Belford said. As Young attempted to drive away, the       officer's fingers were grabbing the window, the footage shows.              Because Young is dead, charges can't be filed, but the crime victim       status of both officers remain, Belford said.              "This was a tragedy," Belford said. "Ms. Young’s family is       understandably very upset and grieving. While none of us can fully       understand the depths of their pain, all of us can remember them in       our prayers and give them the time and space to deal with this       heartbreaking turn of events."              The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is investigating the       shooting. They did not immediately respond to requests for comment.              https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/bodycam-footage-shows-moments-       pregnant-womans-fatal-shooting-ohio-poli-rcna102982              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
