One officer is seen standing at her door and repeatedly telling her to “get out of the car”.
“For what?” she responds twice, adding: “I’m not going to do that.”
One officer seen in front of the car has his left hand on the hood, his gun drawn in the other hand.
“Are you going to shoot me?” she says moments before a single shot is fired and the officer quickly moves out of the car’s path.
The cop who killed her was in no danger, and has time to casually stroll out of the way of the vehicle.
What he doesn’t have is a name or a face — as often happens, the police haven’t been named, and their faces have been blurred in the video.
Why?
If they weren’t cops — if they were just a pair of random dudes killing a black pregnant woman, and there was video footage — would their names remain secret, their faces blurred?
We need to get rid of the police. They’re nothing but gangsters
I agree, but it seems to me that the majority of Americans support their current police system and that it’s only a small minority protesting it. I’ve also been told as much on reddit before. Does that sound accurate to you?
That would go a long way toward explaining why - despite the complaints we read from users online - the force keeps getting bigger, more well funded, and more immune from prosecution. It’s scary to watch.
I’ve spent a lot of time in the states but it becomes a scarier place year after year. I’ve also noticed that a lot of people honestly seem deranged. Even among the well-to-do. It’s like they have a void where the prefontal cortex should be. Is that just my unfamiliarity, or is there actually a big problem with impulse control and emotional regulation?
