Off-duty officer kill's suspected Walmart shoplifter
This one has more detail:
Off-duty deputy shoots, kills suspected Walmart shoplifter
Key point of that report is that it is reported that the deputy was still in uniform:
“He was clearly marked in uniform as a Harris County deputy. And identified himself as the suspects were leaving the establishment,” Gilliland said.
Texas Mother Shelley Frey Shot Dead by Walmart Security Guard after Alleged Shoplifting Incident
This report even goes further explaining some notable things about Frey:
As part of a plea deal in a case in which she allegedly shoplifted from another Walmart, she agreed never to enter another one of the company’s stores.
Seems she isn't the victim that you want to portray. While her death isn't the ideal outcome, she has placed herself and by extension, the children in the car into that position.

Actually if someone was trying to run me over with a vehicle I would use a gun to defend myself.

Following your "logic" imagine what other crimes should not be stopped? His life wasn't in danger until the criminal behind the wheel to make it so. Why do people some people not place blame where blame is due. Those women could have stopped at anytime to include not stealing, not running, and not resisting. And calling him a rent-a-cop when he is in Police uniform is dishonest.

If you shoot all the petty criminals,
you leave more room in prison for murderers, rapists and doobie smokers.
What possible reason is there to think this is a bad thing??
Serially...

This is what so farking wrong with America today. People just don't use their brain anymore. Everything is so friggin' instinctive.
Good to hear so many are pro shop lifter. Can't wait for it to become the rule. It will save me a lot of money.

Tone down the hyperbole. I didn't commend the actions of the off-duty officer, but I am not going to give an inch to a woman who has shown in the past that she was incapable of respecting the law or even the children in her car. Tragic for both sides really.

A 3000lbs car coming at me sounds dangerous... but I guess we have to wait and see what really happened???
