COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio police officer was indicted Tuesday on murder and other charges in the shooting of Ta’Kiya Young, a 21-year-old pregnant Black mother who was killed after being accused of shoplifting last August.

Young was suspected of stealing bottles of alcohol when Blendon Township police officer Connor Grubb and a fellow officer approached her car. The other officer ordered her out. Instead, she rolled forward toward Grubb, who fired a single bullet through her windshield into her chest. The daughter she was expecting three months later also died.

A Franklin County grand jury indicted Grubb on charges of murder, involuntary manslaughter and felonious assault. He is scheduled to be arraigned in court Wednesday. A warrant for his arrest was issued as part of the indictment.

1. Was she actually shoplifting?

Did they find the bottles? How about a receipt? The story doesn't say. All pregnant black women look alike, doncha know.

And who gets charged for murdering that unborn baby? The mom or the cop?

3. Clearly, it doesn't matter if she was shoplifting

as shooting her wasn't the appropriate response under the circumstances. I wonder if he would have done the same thing if the woman had be white.

6. The response by the former officer was not justified.

You are probably right to think he was a racist. He could had moved out of the path.

8. Exactly

Shooting her only put him in possibly more jeopardy.

2. She rolled her car towards him

She should have kept going

4. Did she really roll her car

How do we know she rolled her car toward the officer. Who stated that? The officer? And what does rolling mean? Personally I need more information regarding rolling and who reported it. Plus why was the officer standing in front of her car. That seems kinda of stupid to me.

7. And why did he have his gone drawn?

For an alleged misdemeanor? Murder. It was murder.

5. Prosecute all cops.

The good ones quit or get blackballed. The rest are thugs.
