(6,324 posts)She did.
First, she shoplifted.
She made the attempt to flee when a uniformed officer told her to stop- escalation.
Her companion made the choice to assault a law enforcement officer by hitting him with a purse- escalation.
She got into her car and attempted to escape by vehicle when told to- escalation from a foot chase to a vehicle evasion.
She made the choice to put the car in gear and drive away when the officer had opened the door and was ordering her out, knocking him over with the vehicle- escalation.
One party escalated it at every step by increasing the severity of laws broken, while the other party was responding in a fully lawful manner doing his job.
Yeah, there was lots of escalation- but the people here who can't see it because they always blame cops are of the same bigoted mindset of people who think every time a black person is involved the black person must be guilty, regardless of facts.
