Why does it matter if she was black?
Sure enough, it is a stolen car and everyone inside is therefore a criminal.
DENVER (Reuters) - A young woman suspected of driving a stolen car filled with teenage passengers was shot dead by Denver police on Monday after she struck an officer with the vehicle as he approached on foot, authorities said.

This is why people who steal cars should all get a death sentence. They often put other people in danger or kill them.
lol
lolHow else will we know whether to be outraged or not?

Imagine how horrible it would be to do something as stupid as this and then one of you is killed doing it. You'd have to live with that forever.So they can all be charged with murder, seeing as the driver was killed in the commission of this shared crime?
Did cops consider cars lethal weapons 20 years ago? I just really don't know. Today's culture (of course) shows cars to be deadly weapons. DUI, or avoiding cops, is no longer DUI or avoiding cops, it's now attack with a deadly weapon, etc.
This car, of course, parked in an alley way, would speed from 0 to (trying not to laugh here) 10 miles an hour, in the alley way? This is the deadly weapon?!
Any way, seriously sick kill, cops.

Deadly, serious.
Whatever.
16 Year Old Girl, in a reported stolen, parked car. Killed by cops.
Reminds me of getting high with my high-school buddies, and maybe getting a bit flustered if/when the cops show up.
These guys (cops) are theoretically trained to deal with things, and yet, something like shooting a 16-year old girl, and a car full of friends, happens.
Maybe they need better training, before we give them guns.
Maybe they need better training, before they can approach a vehicle.

I love the "Return to Zork," but otherwise think you are wrong. I live in Denver, and I have seen pictures of the alley-way on the news, etc. They were parked, having a smoke, and here comes the cops, and the young lady freaks out, and tries to drive. Big mistake, of course... and she paid for it with her life.Yea, not even remotely close to the same circumstances. They stole a car, then tried to run down a cop.

Tragic.
And you would hope that cops, etc., highly trained as they are, wouldn't let this happen.

I had to set it up somehow :thumbsup:
Still, though. I don't think there's any excuse for what they did. Sure they were parked -- in a stolen car. Doing drugs. Were they high before they stole the car? If so, they got it there by driving around stoned. Were they just going to abandon their stolen car after sitting there doing drugs in an alley? I guess we won't know the answer to that, either.
Best case scenario is they stole a car, started hotboxing, then attempted to evade arrest and in the process of doing so accidentally hit a cop. Worst case scenario is they got high, stole a care, started hotboxing, attempted to evade arrest by trying to kill a cop. None of those things are in any way remotely legal. I wouldn't even call it an accident that she hit the cop; not like she stopped.
The cops are highly trained. He did his job by identifying the vehicle as one reported stolen, then called for backup. Cops die every day from doing their job when shitbags go out of their way to try to kill them. Or just kill them trying to avoid taking responsibility for their actions.
I think smoking a joint with your friends and being paranoid about nearby cops is a lot different than obviously being caught, then attempting to evade arrest in your stolen vehicle -- even if the cop hadn't been hit in the process.
i had no idea that death was the penalty for stealing a car and hitting a cop...
who needs courtrooms?
cops are apparently judges, juries, and executioners.
due process is for the weak!

Oh, Bullshit.I am really hard on cops and their excessive use of force.
In this case, a car is a deadly weapon and she not only tried to use it on a cop but DID attack a cop with a deadly weapon. Anyone, regardless of a badge or not, would have the right to defend themselves with deadly force in that situation.
