Iran: Woman left paraplegic after being shot by police over hijab

Conservatism is a global plague of oppression and death. There is no place for hate-based ideologies like conservatism in a modern civilization.

It hurts to think about the timelines that could have been.

Meanwhile next door Iraq is attempting to lower the marriage age to 9.

Yeah fuck religion.

Fuck the morality police.

This is so sad and should not have happened

The sooner the Islamic Regime in Tehran falls the better. The Iranian people deserve freedom.

Yes makes sense, shooting people for not wearing cloth over their face.

You know, if we are going back to medieval times, can we bring out stuff like guillotines? I got a few smelly Iranian leaders I want to play with.

"don't blame me, did you see how she was dressed?!"

What would humanity be without religion?

I don’t know if I’m mentally strong enough to be a paraplegic.

*Iranian police

Police in the US:

Fuck america I'm going to iran

Just to remind ourselves that this woman is paraplegic because the US had to send in the CIA to orchestrate a coup in order to remove its democratically elected president and put a fundamentalist religious nutcase Shah in power that was more friendly to the US, which like all CIA ventures, failed miserably and he ended up being overthrown by worse religious nutcases shortly after, which is regarded as a direct consequence of US involvement.

Thank you US, for our daily misery all across the world, but especially for turning the middle east into the misery it is today. We will remember it all throughout the likely war between Iran and Israel that the democratically elected governments of the US purposefully worked towards for the last 50 years, by both directly destabilizing Iran and by arming and funding Israel and the Palestinian apartheid and genocide.

I just wonder how much worse the world has to become until the US just stops "helping".

Iran: Woman left paraplegic after being shot by police over hijab

Okay, that sounds pretty unequivocal.

Arezoo Badri, 31, was driving home with her sister in the northern city of Noor on 22 July when police attempted to pull her over to confiscate her car.

The driver did not comply with the order to stop, prompting the officers to shoot, the police commander in Noor told Iran's state-run news agency, without naming Ms Badri.

It is unclear whether Ms Badri was wearing a headscarf when she was stopped by police, but her car had a confiscation notice against it - suggesting multiple alleged violations of the hijab law.

So it's possible, albeit not known, that she had previously violated the hijab law. And that's why they were pulling her over.

But that's not why they shot at her. She got shot because she didn't stop the vehicle.

Like, you could say "shot for refusing to stop", and I'd agree with that. Maybe someone would find that unreasonable as a matter of police procedure. I don't know what the legal standards are for use-of-force in Iran. In the US, I'm reasonably sure that that'd violate law enforcement protocol in most states. A police officer can't use deadly force just for not following an order; there are situations where it is possible to do so.

Yeah:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleeing_felon_rule

Under U.S. law the fleeing felon rule was limited in 1985 to non-lethal force in most cases by Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1. The justices held that deadly force "may not be used unless necessary to prevent the escape and the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious bodily harm to the officer or others."[2]

A police officer may not seize an unarmed, nondangerous suspect by shooting him dead...however...Where the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a threat of serious physical harm, either to the officer or to others, it is not constitutionally unreasonable to prevent escape by using deadly force.

— Justice Byron White, Tennessee v. Garner[3]

If a suspect drives a car at an officer, the car is considered to be a deadly weapon, and it's okay for police to use deadly force then.

But my guess is that just a refusal to stop, without some additional circumstances, wouldn't result in authorization to use deadly force anywhere in the present-day US.

I can imagine someone saying that they think that Iran's use-of-deadly-force law should be more-restrictive.

But I don't think that this is reasonable to reduce this to "shot by police over hijab".

Non Muslim Lives Matter? :)

So much worse than being shot at randomly by police or even just in your own home when they bust in by mistake like they do in the USA. At least in America you have the freedom to be murdered or disabled by police for no reason at all, not just because of what you're wearing. Freedom.
