That is fucking nuts. If you have 50 police officers you do not need to shoot a woman who is VERY clearly not a fucking threat. Holy shit they treated her like she was carrying
They kept shooting at her even when she was limping away crying and someone trying to help her. So being a threat I think was the least of their concerns. Seems more like they were enjoying target practice.
My european brain could not handle why this would be the way to treat a pregnant person until I realized, that this might be about a weapon instead of a child.
The context might make this obvious for people who are more used to guns than babies, but I was very confused.
My Canadian brain was in the same boat. I had to wonder if it was an joke about cops shooting pregnant people that I wasn’t american enough to understand.

So it IS a cultural misunderstanding. Nice to know, that I am not the only one confused. 😃
