So a 21 y.o. pregnant young woman is killed over a 'suspected' shoplifting. I couldn't find if they found stolen goods in her car.
I watched the video, and it looks to me like the office in front of the car with his hand on the front, already had his gun out, pointing at her.
I was bedridden for a few months after an accident. Spent my days watching Youtube videos on US Police. Traffic stops, home raids, 1st Amendment Auditors etc.
The bad videos far out weigh the good ones regarding police behaviour.
I was shocked at how they treat the public in general. Very overbearing, and many didn't even know, or chose to ignore the constitutional rights they swore to uphold..
Seems like there is a tendency to overreach their authority given their qualified immunity. Quick to get people out of their cars, into hand cuffs, citing officer safety.
Quick to turn to physical force or draw their guns.
Circumvent 4th Amendment protections to search a car by pretending they can smell marijuana. Entering peoples homes without a warrant.
Almost like a paramilitary force rather than a police force.
And many wearing the Thin Blue Line "Gang Badge", a fad which has unfortunately crossed the Atlantic to the UK.
