So were the shoplifters, even the one who's dead now.
They stopped being "shoplifters" when they assaulted a law officer, fled a police officer and then assaulted a officer with a motor vehicle... That is a felony.... Plain and simple..
The country is on the verge of collapse and 26 pages of debate over a scumbag thief who got popped in self-defense.
The courts have already ruled that trying to run somebody over is anything from aggravated assault to attempted murder, depending on the state and circumstances.
The poor mom doesn't think her daughter deserved to die? The cop didn't deserve to die, either.
She wasn't killed for shoplifting, she was killed because she tried to kill a cop with a 4000# weapon. Anyone who can't see the distinction is probably a liberal.

Nope, she wasn't driving. Anyone who can't see that in plain text in the article must be ...
And, yes, she would have been legally culpable for the other person's actions (I find this to be asinine, personally - she could have been screaming for her friend to stop for all we know), but she still wasn't the one performing the action which precipitated the cop's poorly aimed shot. She was just the recipient of it. He could easily have called for backup, since he had already had access to her friend's license plate number and vehicle description, as well as the women shoplifting on store video. Send the on-duty cops to the woman's house and arrest her for shoplifting and assault on a police officer.
There was only one driver, and she wasn't the one who was shot and killed.
Guess what what happens when you hang out with thugs?
If two people rob a bank, run from the police, make it to the parking lot, and the one with the gun starts shooting at the police, nobody is going to cry if the cop returns fire and hits the one without the gun. They were accomplices.
Would someone be a pal and make a list of all the people who have lectured us on not presuming George Zimmerman is guilty before the case has been adjudicated and then compare it to the recall of the resident geniuses in this thread?
Lets just get one thing straight. There is zero evidence that any attempt was made to run the officer down. Even a slight amount of objective thinking will show that that was not the intent of the driver. Getting away was. The shot was fired into the car before the vehicle even got moving enough to hurt anyone. Had the women been allowed to flee (what a concept). They would have easily been captured under conditions that would not make national headlines. This is murder. Period. There is no way to dress it up and make it justifiable. So many procedural rules were broken that it is only the SOP City Data racism that fuels 26 pages of commentary. We really are toast if this is the only thing that so many of you get passionate about.

Maybe, but that doesn't give the police officer the right to shoot someone who is not directly threatening them. Saying "well, that person was bad too" doesn't cut it.
