The additional security footage made public on Friday shows Young and two other women walking around the liquor department of the Columbus-area store. Young can be seen putting multiple bottles of alcohol into her purse and a tote bag while out of sight of the cash register. She and the two other women then leave without paying.
The additional bodycam footage also shows police officers quickly rendering medical aid to Young after she is shot. They break the window of her car, which had rolled into the brick wall of the supermarket, and pull her from the vehicle. The tote bag full of liquor is visible as they drag her from the car.

Who exactly used bad judgment here???
Both of them.
Pretty sure the cop is gonna get the Derick Chauvin treatment, and in my opinion he is more culpable than Derick Chauvin was.
No mother should have to fear that her child be killed while shoplifting.
We don’t execute shoplifters. This isn’t Iran.
Her criminal past was not known at the time and still we don’t have street trials.
So all of the facts that you say don’t matter do matter.
The car was parked when the second cop sprinted up to the hood with gun drawn.
He could have avoided placing himself there.
Therefore avoiding shooting her.
What the cop did was in fact legal. But he had a choice. He chose to shoot.
He didn’t have to.
The first cop clearly had it under control and there is video proof.
Screen shots (posted on this thread) of the first cop leaning up against the car next to women, his gun Not drawn as he was talking.
At the same time the shooting cop was at her hood with a gun pointed at her head before the car began moving. Why? Was she armed? The first cop wasn’t worried.
You want to toss away the facts and deny what your eyes are seeing.
Part of police work is making choices.
This cop chose poorly.
He had options but he was young and wanted to flex his power.
She had it handy in the bathroom where she tired to electrocute her husband in the bath tub.
She started plugging things in and tossing them into the tub while he was tied up in the tub.
Luckily she blew a fuse with some kind of toaster oven.
I told my partner we should wait for police, but naaaaw we can handle it. 😆
Detroit Police arrived and arrested the husband because he kept saying how he hit her and abused her all the time.
It was quite funny because the guy was lying and wanted to be safe in jail.
The cops didn’t want to deal with her and all of her 300 plus pounds.
The facts and my eyes, show me, she created her situation and she paid the price. You said-"What the cop did was in fact legal. But he had a choice. He chose to shoot. If it was legal, your arguments, as I said before, mean nothing, and is, just you, playing, "why didn't he do this or why didn't he do that", after the fact.
Wow! Crazy stuff.
”Not back on his heels”...have you ever seen someone get hit by a car? I have, and they get flipped up in the air, not pushed backwards.
This was a woman cop? That makes this a lot more understandable. I've read quite a few examples where women cops tend to shoot far more easily than men.
We'll see how this cop comes out of this, but it wouldn't surprise me if she/he gets the Derick Chauvin treatment.
