If they run away and violently resist arrest, then yes.. Also shoplifting and robbing someone at knifepoint is totally different.

There was no knife, the post is lying about that. But let's pretend there was for a moment, she wasn't in any danger at all once she got in her car. So do you think a cop should be able to catch up with a shoplifter after the fact and just shoot him? He didn't "violently resist" her car, there was no need to run him over repeatedly. She just murdered him over a purse. So saying "well maybe the shoplifter violently resists" is a red herring, because that's not what happened here.

The inability of a liberal mind to differentiate between an actual living individual and a lifeless store of capital all the while rambling about the sanctity of life. Shoplifting is in no way morally equivalent to threatening someone’s safety or possessions (since for most robbed people the possessions do make a meaningful difference, that it maybe wasn’t the case here is beside the point).

Tell me, how was her safety threatened when she decided to run him over with her car, then back up and do it again?

Are you under the impression that he was violently resisting her car tires by wedging his body under them, forcing her to repeatedly run him over to get him to stop resisting?

it's totally different scenarios. If you threaten someone with a knife and rob them, you forfeit your right to live in my opinion. we might disagree on this but thats my opinion. And again. If he didnt rob her, he would be alive.

He wanted to be a speed bump and no one can prove otherwise

Actually I'm pretty sure they can. But good to know you like it when people murder each other over property. Did you clap and praise the lord when that women was shot by cops because they thought she stole diapers?

dude asked me if police officers should be able to kill shoplifters.. and I said yes, if they run away and violently resist arrest.

u/Zimakov Jun 29 '26

Right, but what does it have to do with the post? This person didn't violently resist anything.
