    If he used a nerf gun she'd still be alive. The other girl who she was attacking with that knife? Maybe not so much. Or maybe just maimed a little if she's lucky.

    I'm always still in trouble again

      Which, again, leads to the absurd scenario of an officer drawing his weapon wasting his time scanning the environment for something that he can safely fire a warning shot into instead of focusing on the threat who compelled him to draw his weapon in the first place.

        You just want cops to shoot innocent unarmed black teenage girls!!!! He could have called ahead and told warned them that he was coming with a gun! Then she would have not used the knife and woudln't have gotten shot!

          Blanks! Then it would sound like a warning shot but he wouldn't have to shoot anything at all!

            Heck, we need police tanks! Just roll up on the scene and start firing away.

              That's... actually not a completely insane idea. Make it standard procedure that the first round in every clip is a blank. It's not a perfect solution as I can think of a number of downsides offhand, but it's at least more practical than anything I've ever heard proposed by the left.

                Holding a knife is not the same as using it. The best you got is waving it about in a threatening manner. She did not stab the first girl. The cop could have grabbed her at that point had he not already decided to do some shooting.

                  She wasn't "holding the knife" - that was the dumb title of the article --- she was actually wielding it, having chased another girl with it.

                  The best you got is waving it about in a threatening manner. She did not stab the first girl.
                  Yeah, cause the cop SHOT her, preventing her from stabbing the girl.

                  The cop could have grabbed her at that point had he not already decided to do some shooting.
                  We've been all through this -- you're either a liar or a moron --- watch the video -- he DID try to grab the girl when she TRIED TO STAB the first victim, then ran over and tried to stab a SECOND girl.



                  The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                    You would end up with lots of dead cops who were trying to stop a criminal who was about to shoot them. But that's a good thing right? According to the liberals.

                      Stop trolling. Sigh.
                      She was in mid-swing to stab the girl. not "holding" or "waving it around" - she rushed the girl, shoved her against the car and started to stab her, all in one motion. There was no period of waving the knife around.

                        I'm beginning to think that firstfloor is starlight's "dumb sockpuppet".

                        Both seem to know far more about our own country than we do, and wish to set us straight.

                          She was shot in mid-stab. You cannot expect anyone to wait to see how deep the blade goes before attempting to stop it.

                            He literally stopped her in the nick of time. Even a split-second hesitation would have meant that girl would be stabbed.

                              She was right at the point where her forward momentum might have allowed for her to have stabbed the girl in pink.

                                Well, yes, that's one of the downsides I was thinking of. It wouldn't take long before every criminal knew he had a one-shot advantage against a police officer officer.
