That is not in the AP link and you know it. Here's the full article. You're just arguing for the sake of arguing.

[FONT=var(--font-1)]BLENDON, Ohio (AP) — Police in a Columbus suburb fatally shot a pregnant woman in an Ohio supermarket parking lot after she accelerated her car toward an officer, police officials said.[/FONT]
[FONT=var(--font-1)]Ta’Kiya Young, 21, of Columbus, died Thursday evening in Blendon.[/FONT]
[FONT=var(--font-1)]
A supermarket employee told officers who were at the store on an unrelated matter that multiple people were fleeing from the store with stolen items, Blendon Police Chief John Belford said. That included Young who had allegedly taken multiple bottles of alcohol. One officer went to the driver’s side of Young’s car and told her to stop, Belford said, while the other officer moved in front of the vehicle.[/FONT]
[FONT=var(--font-1)]
Young then put the car in gear and accelerated forward, Belford said, and the officer directly in the vehicle’s path fired one shot through the front windshield. Young’s car then traveled about 50 feet before coming to a stop on the sidewalk outside the store.

[FONT=var(--font-1)]She was pronounced dead a short time later. Young was due to give birth in November, her family told The Columbus Dispatch. Her unborn daughter did not survive the shooting. Young was the mother of two sons, ages 6 and 3. [/FONT][FONT=var(--font-1)]The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is leading the investigation into the fatal shooting, Belford said.[/FONT]
[FONT=var(--font-1)]
The names of the two officers and further information about them — including their ages and race — have not been released. They are on paid administrative leave while the shooting is investigated, which is standard procedure in such incidents, Belford said. [/FONT][FONT=var(--font-1)]The shooting was captured on police body cam video, but it wasn’t clear Monday when that will be made public.[/FONT]
[FONT=var(--font-1)]
Young’s family told The Columbus Dispatch they have many questions about the shooting, mainly why she was deemed a lethal threat.[/FONT]
[FONT=var(--font-1)]
“She stole something from the store,” her grandmother, Nadine Young, told the newspaper. “You didn’t have to shoot the woman; she would have eventually gotten out of the … car. You didn’t have to kill her and the baby.”

How did shooting her save him asshole

All she had to do was step on the gas pedal harder and she could have killed him. She had a 4000 lb weapon. He could have saved others. If she was willing to try to run over an armed officer of the law she would not have hesitated to run over an unarmed citizen. She died because of her own poor choices.

All the white supremacist had to do was pull the trigger and he could have killed the black churchgoers.

I reporter in the OP obviously watched the full video and said the car ran into the cop and lifted him off the ground.

Neither white supremacists nor black churchgoers are my particular social circle of choice,
but distinguishing the assholes from among them
just isn't that hard.

Accelerating toward is not the same as hitting. You can accelerate toward a person who then jumps out of the way.

I guess the people killed in the parade mow down should have just jumped out of the way...


So u have to wait till u are hit with the weapon first and than respond...might be kinda hard with a broken neck and back

I didn't say any of that. I was simply correcting the comments about what was in the linked article. That means linked in the OP, not what someone found on another site but didn't bother to link.

THE OP article says a video angle show the cop was contacted and lifted off the ground. Christie how exactly does that happen?

I think you're the one who's drinking. I already posted the entire article and it doesn't say that. How about you go back to post 61 and highlight the words you just wrote, that I put in red.
