The Blendon Township, Ohio police department released bodycam footage of an officer-involved shooting that took the life of Ta’Kiya Young. Young was accused of shoplifting by an employee and tried to leave the scene. CNN’s Miguel Marquez reports.

Somehow this is the only country on earth where this seems to happen. When talking about shootings involving guns, okay, fine, the US is certainly an outlier there, but every country has cars and police.

This is murder.

    Sure, why not take the handful of stories you read every day about bad cops, then extrapolate way outside that range and confidently declare that “most cops in America are bad people”, which is 1) subjective, and 2) stated without evidence?

    The cops performing their jobs without getting into trouble don’t make the news.

      Why aren’t those cops who don’t get into trouble (that doesn’t mean they aren’t doing bad things, by the way) doing anything about the cops that are? Doesn’t that make them complicit?

      Those “good” cops stand by and do nothing while watching the bad cops be bad. Even if they aren’t going out and hurting people they are part of the problem by enabling that behavior.
