What part of taking down a licence plate vs use of deadly force did this BOZO not understand? This lady may be a shop lifter, but last I noticed it did not carry the death penalty.

Killed for a couple of steaks... wonderful...

Guess they train them Off duty cops well on how to kill women, children and dogs. If a citizen should shoot a fleeing theif that poses no threat to their life, they could end up in prison for murder.

I am disgusted at how little life is held as treasure these days. Do something people don’t like and you get the thumbs down in the Arena.

Stupid, stupid man.

The article describes the security guard / off-duty cop as running up to the driver's car door or pulling it open, and firing into the car as the driver tried to speed away. Doesn't sound like a good shoot to me, but other prior cases are similar enough that the cop in question probably won't have much to worry about.

The article also says he may have been "knocked off balance" or something, causing the handgun to discharge. Very sketchy, but it sure doesn't sound like a "She was going to run over me..." situation.

Perhaps the officer thought she was someone’s pet dog.

The cop was involved with a car, read that weapon, trying to drive away, read that being used as a weapon against him, when he fired his weapon to defend himself from this assault. He had every right to do so and he had the authority of his badge to command them to stop. These ladies, mainly the driver, made a choice not to obey the officer and then to try and run him over with the car. This was not a simple shop lifting situation.

I agree. No one should be killed for shoplifting.

“Campbell confronted the women in the doorway and ordered them to stop. They tried to force their way past him. One of the women, later identified as Frey, hit the deputy and ran.... Campbell opened the car door and ordered Frey to get out. But she refused, officials said. Andrews began to drive away while the deputy was standing between the open door and the driver’s seat. She threw it in reverse and tried to run over the deputy”

The officer was not a fault. The theives were at fault. The driver is being held in jail on aggrevated robbery with a deadly weapon and the other for robbery. Since they committed crime in which a preson was killed, they will most likely be charged with murder. That’s three less scum off the streets.

Stay in Israel. Apparently they love shoplifters who try to run down policemen there.

I’d suggest that you stick to pandering to peace loving Palis and keep yourself out of the war zone in the once and future Republic of Texas.

Exercising your Inner Liberal, I see.

As a self described Christian, and having lived in Israel, how can you not understand the Commandment “Don’t Steal”.

Just because she is black, why does she have a right to keep stealing from Walmart. Note the “keep stealing” because she was caught once before and was violating both the Court order and a certain Commandment.

As for her being a mother of two, want to bet on her being mommie to a couple of welfare bastards whelped for the welfare money she gets for having borne them?

If you have a reason why she should be allowed to steal, please post them, as I would be quite curious about why you seem to consider her death a wrongful one.

This is Houston, Texas, sir. You would have to know Texas law to understand. In Texas, if one is fleeing with ‘your’ goods, you have the right to stop them. The officer in this case was protecting ‘his’ goods as an employee of Wal-Mart.

Yeah ,I don’t like the thievery, but dying for your actions here is way over the top. Still, there isn’t often a day here on FR when some “person of color” doesn’t end up like this. Seems like the gene pool would be thinning out, and/or the remaining “folks” would start to get the message that the rest of us are fed up with their act.
