Consider this a warning: We can speak about the horrors of this case without leaning into misogyny and attacking this woman for how she looks.
Comments attacking anyone for how they look will be subject to removal.

He was...crawling right at them? Might have overpowered them? And of course it happened at a walmart.
What would have happened if the lady got away with a pack of stolen diapers? Worth firing guns over I guess?
I dont even recognize this country anymore. Its barbaric.
For shoplifting diapers? I can't even...
Yeah, but diapers kinda sounds like diamonds and minor kinda sounds like miner and diamonds are mined by miners who sometimes unionise but not like police unions which are good but workers unions which are like socialism which is like communism which is bad and anti-American and why do you hate America what do you want the terrorists to win?
Shooting a child in her mother embrace is incident ? from which universe ?
And nothing will change until enough people get together to change it. We all have three votes, our political vote, our financial vote (how we choose to spend our money), and finally a vote with our life in protest / revolution. Every government today exists because people voted with their life, they fought often mortally to create that government. It's the duty of civilians to vote for the country and government they want.
American cops will never understand that they can just take a license plate and go knock on the door later, no, "I said stop and they are not stopping! The punishment for disobedience is death!"
Yeah it is the entire point. It's an extra charge they can guarantee if they don't comply.
And carry all that ammo both ways?
This was always my train of thought. Why not just get the license plate and let the suspect think they got away, then just catch them at home later. American cops are just trigger happy assholes.
You can steal plates or simply not have plates. What then? The problem is cops treat everyone as if they are extremely dangerous individual, without any evidence to the contary. I wouldnt even put it pass these idiots from shooting the infant even if the mother did comply. They are that damn paranoid.
So, she stole diapers, didn't have a weapon, I can't imagine she was driving while holding up a child, and posed some sort of imminent threat?
Where is the immediate threat to life and limb?
the cops will lie to create one, they always do. Hopefully it was being recorded-- its the only way to have a chnace of justice when cops are present.
Where is the immediate threat to life and limb?
They're claiming that the other woman was driving the vehicle towards officers, but shooting at a moving vehicle is never justified anyway.
It's all bullshit to protect the police here.
That is fucked up.
Even if we accept the premise she was driving straight towards them, shooting her does not stop the vehicle.
I don’t accept that premise, by the way.
For a non violent property crime (of stealing diapers, probably one of the most ethical crimes you could do as a poor person) they could have mortised the license plate, they had video of her, they could have stepped aside and could have shot the vehicle’s tires.
I see no universe where this makes any sense.
