When police departments fight against releasing bodycam footage and only do so under immense public pressure, then still drag their feet and delay as long as possible, that tells you all you need to know.

Oh look.

The video not only shows he had time to get out of the way, it shows him pointing the gun at her first.

They really should show the whole footage, unedited.

People should be able to see the reality of getting shot.

Let's see whether or not the officer moved out of the way after firing

What a tragedy. These dumb cops are the fucking problem. Why the hell is he standing in front of the vehicle? Is it so boring that they have to get their adrenaline flowing for a shoplifter? Unbelievable that they can murder a young mother based on an assumption and get away with it. Innocent until proven guilty my ass. A family is devastated.

Hug your loved ones.
