Harrisburg, Pa. A police officer was charged Tuesday with criminal homicide after investigators concluded she shot an unarmed motorist in the back as he lay facedown after a traffic stop over an expired inspection sticker.
Authorities accused Hummelstown police Officer Lisa J. Mearkle of shooting David Kassick, 59, twice Feb. 2 without legal justification. She was jailed without bail.
They said Mearkle had attempted to pull over Kassick for expired inspection and emissions stickers before he sped away. She caught up to Kassick near his sister's home, where he got out and ran.

Cops are a bunch of pussies these days when it comes to any perceived risk, doubly so where female officers are involved.
Women cops HAVE TO use force because bad guys are not intimidated by females. Then, the new level of force spreads to the male cops.
Just imagine the changes that will come to combat when women officially join in.
Right, and we all know male cops never have an attitude.
If I recall, that is exactly what happens, male cops then using force against threats/non-compliance they perceive to women cops. The police forces with the most black males had the lowest rate of use of force, the implication being they are more intimidating and likelier to be obeyed.

It’s a basic fear of failure. If a woman has to have physical contact, she is going to lose.
And, then Obama says the white cops are racist even though it is really about women feminizing the job.
She murdered him, and that’s all you can say?
I've noticed a lot of guy cops with that very same attitude.
Awww, she’s probably somebody’s aunt.
This is the kind of stuff I was talking about on the other thread.
Nothing to be sorry about, I was just piling on to your sarcasm.
I heard he was jerking her around after she tased him and told him not to move.
“Right, and we all know male cops never have an attitude.”
That’s a separate issue, but most of them do have an “attitude” and that’s due to their training. Seems as though to “control a situation,” you need to be a complete a$$hole, or at least that’s how it comes through to me. Somehow, it’s “too hard” to develop a demeanor that allows you to command the respect of the citizens. If you have the ability to command respect, you don’t need to be an a$$hole. When I look at these college-age male animals at spring break, I say to myself, there’s the next crop of cops. Classy guys, some of whom will kill themselves on their way home from a titty bar like the two cops in NJ last week, and maybe that will happen before the get to bag their first citizen!
“I heard he was jerking her around after she tased him and told him not to move.”
Okay, I see where she could have taken “affirmative action”. However, Affirmative Action shouldn’t save her from prison.
