Since when does a store close down for something like this? That seems strange, and why have we not seen the footage from the store showing that she was the one who stole the items? Instead, we get them closed for a few days. Show the footage of her stealing?

[jpet]

I'm most shocked that police were actually responding to a theft. I thought people just get away with that these days.

She had a arrest warrant that's y she D not stop the car you would think being pregnant it would change her ways of stealing... guess not!!

C'mon this 21 year old already had a 6 yr old and another little kid and is pregnant. I saw the store video, she stole at least 10 bottles of liquor. Is parked in a handicap spot and has no tags
Then tried to run over the cop after he asked her repeatedly to stop. What did she expect. She did this to herself

Where’s the video from in the store of her stealing alcohol ?

Fighting charges in a courtroom could very well go your way.
Fighting charges in the streets WILL NEVER go your way.

'Are you going to shoot me?' Those were her last words. But her last action after saying that, was to drive her car into a cop. This sequence should not be glossed over.

[bombblast]

She should use some common sense knowing that this kind of activity could be fatal. Did she actually think she could go through life stealing. and get away with it no consequences for her actions

[nbidwell]

So the suspect was a mother already with another child on the way… and she’s affiliated with stealing liquor (either did it or with somebody who did it), wouldn’t cooperate with police, tried to drive away and struck another officer in the process? She’s playing deadly games and had a kid and another on the way… how stupid is she?

"Demanding answers" was in the store (stealing alcohol) while pregnant. Attempted to run over officers with her car on camera. What answers do they want...?

[Cubamara]

‘Are you going to shoot me?’ --- Yes they will.

[bombblast]

David. she wasn't shot for shoplifting she was shot for attempting to use her vehicle as a deadly weapon against an officer

[r.scottmacleod]

At what point are you planning to say whether or not there was stolen items recovered or store security video of the alleged thefts???

[comment.highlighted]

Don’t try to take off and run over the police 🤷‍♂️

[kevinkatz]

It's real simple kids, put your arrogance in check and comply...

[josmotherman]

Absolutely. Let's excuse the criminal, and their criminal behavior, which was the cause of this interaction, and blame the Police for doing their job.
People have to stop excusing criminal behavior. Either we have a lawful society, or we have anarchy and chaos.

[Rowan-moko]

Why do they always say the life of the party?

Why is this a trend for the media?

[wuteva]

Every single source of media in this country should be ashamed of themselves.

[bradlee]

It's difficult to discern the officer's reasonableness or lack there of. To declare you know is preposterous. If it can be determined the officer's fear was not reasonable, then he should suffer the consequences of his actions and lose his job and be tried for manslaughter or murder. What we DO KNOW is this woman acted UNREASONABLY when she not only refused to comply by getting out of the car, she attempted to move her car away from one officer and toward another. SHE was in total control of not being shot, whether the officer acted criminally or not. SHE was 100% in control.

The officer answered her question with a resounding affirmative.
