So carjacking when pregnant is ok but if you get caught and are ordered to get on the ground you can’t because you are pregnant?

It’s not okay.
However, the response to fleeing is to chase. Not to shoot.
I know that shooting is easier than chasing. If you are not willing to give pursuit a chance, maybe it’s not the right line of work for you.
Carjacking is becoming far far too common, and it’s often very violent, if not at least traumatic. Something has to be done about. However, treating suspects with deadly force because of non-compliance is definitely not a due-process protection.
Not if you're a fat cop.

but if I am on the jury, the cop is not guilty....because...I don’t care about the rights of car jackers, nor their lives.
“However, the response to fleeing is to chase. Not to shoot.”
That depends on the law, not on your personal assessment. If the law allows the police to shoot a fleeing felon, then it’s up to the policeman’s judgement whether the situation warrants it. The policeman is the one who will have to live with the consequences if they allow a criminal to escape and the criminal harms someone else subsequently.
“However, treating suspects with deadly force because of non-compliance is definitely not a due-process protection.”
The laws that govern whether police are allowed to shoot or not in these situations are not based on “non-compliance”, they are based on the threat that the criminal poses to others if allowed to escape. Criminals that are “on the run” are much more likely to commit additional felonies, and violent felonies, in an attempt to make good on their escape, as they are already facing prison if caught, so there is little to motivate them to not do whatever they can to get away.
Lead stoppers are more effective than Crime stoppers!
Would work well at the Southern border as well.
So buy the story as told by the Post?
