If they ignored warnings from even relatively friendly states then I find it difficult to see the whole thing as something other than sacrificing some of their own people so they could wring some propaganda out of the event to shore up support for their war. When it first happened and they tried to lay the blame on Ukraine I figured it was more a case of, “Never let a serious crisis go to waste,” but it really seems like they knew it was coming and allowed it to happen.
According to a news release, the SIU says the incident began at around 1:30 p.m. when police made a traffic stop in the area of Churchill Avenue and Avondale Avenue. A 25-year-old woman got out of the car and ran away, the SIU said. An officer followed.
“At some point, the officer discharged his firearm and the woman was struck. She was transported to hospital for treatment. The woman is in critical condition,” the SIU said.
Doesn’t sound like she presented a threat to anyone. I don’t think stopping a suspect from running away is a reasonable excuse to shoot them.
