Ta’Kiya Young, 21, appears to advance the car towards an Ohio officer before a single shot is fired.
That was an execution, holy shit. Officer stands in front of car with gun drawn so he has excuse to shoot to kill when she panics.
If someone stole some groceries, and you have to choose between her maybe getting away, or executing her - you let her maybe get away.
Well, yes, but not in a country where private property of any kind is more sacred than human life.

americans are too placid
We had sustained national protests for months just a few years ago. The problem isn’t that we’re placid, but that the barriers we face to organizing mass movements are close to insurmountable and there’s no available and responsive avenue to successfully lobby for change in our so-called democracy.
It’s the state and all of its carceral powers against a politically uneducated population that’s one arrest away from getting fired and then one missed paycheck away from homelessness, or one injury at the hands of a too-excited cop away from medical bankruptcy.
Judge, jury and executioners.
What did she think was going to happen when she rammed a cop with her 4000 lbs car?
