Two frames from the bodycam footage. Knife is clearly visible in the first frame. Second frame was right at the moment the officer pulled the trigger.

That knife looks more like a boot knife than what you'd find in the kitchen.

And, yes, the person with the knife was portrayed as "a 15 year old teen". Sounds rather innocuous, eh?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The video footage makes it very clear that the officer saved the girl in pink from an assault with a knife (at a minimum) or from being fatally stabbed (worst case). The girl who was shot was about as tall as the officer, had just stabbed / bullrushed another (large) girl to the ground right in front of the officer, and was in the process of ignoring the officer's instructions (Get down!) to attack someone else. Not sure what else the officer could have done. Remember the 911 call was to a stabbing (AFAIK) so the officer arrived expecting the possibility of someone being armed. The girl who was shot saw the officer, probably saw that he had his weapon drawn, and carried on with her attack.
Play stupid games, get stupid prizes.
There should be protests by the community over this - protests against this kind of stupidity and violence that leads to police being called, and against the black on black killings that ravage the community.

- had a bright and promising future, wanting to go to college after graduating.

"unarmed" is apparently BLM code for 'has knife, is stabbing'?
Here's what the bastion of journalism the New York Times did when they quoted him

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostColumbus, Ohio, shooting: Police officer shot and killed a Black teenage girl holding a knife
The headline is misleading - she wasn't "holding a knife - she was attempting to stab two other girls.
A Columbus, Ohio, police officer shot and killed a Black teenager Tuesday afternoon after she attempted to cut two females with a knife, according to officials and body camera footage shown to the media.
The girl's mother, Paula Bryant, and the Franklin County Children's Services identified her as Ma'Khia Bryant. Although local law enforcement identified her as 15 years old at a news conference Tuesday, the FCCS gave the girl's age as 16.
"Ma'Khia was a foster child, who was under the care of Franklin County Children Services," the FCCS said in a statement. "This was a tragic incident and FCCS is continuing its involvement with the family throughout this difficult time."
Police received a call at 4:32 p.m. indicating "females were there trying to stab them and put their hands on them," Columbus Interim Police Chief Michael Woods said Tuesday night.
When police arrived, the first officer on the scene approaches a group in the driveway of a home, according to that officer's bodycam footage.
The video shows a teen quickly move toward another girl with what appears to be a knife, and the girl falls to the ground. The officer yells, "Hey, hey, hey, hey. Get down!" before she appears to lunge at a second girl with the knife, according to the video.
The officer tells her to "Get Down! Get down! Get down! Get down!" and then fires four shots in the direction of the teenager.
One officer attends to the shooting victim, who police are not identifying. Officers assessed the girl for injuries and summoned a medic, as is protocol, Woods said.
"Ma'Khia had a motherly nature about her. She promoted peace. That is something that I want to always be remembered," Paula Bryant told TV station WBNS.
Police did not have any information on whether the two other individuals were injured, Woods said.
The officer will be taken off the street while an investigation by the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) in the Ohio Attorney General's Office takes place, Woods said. The investigation then goes to the Franklin County Grand Jury and then back to the police department for an internal review, Woods said.
"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community," Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference. "But a family is grieving tonight and this young 15-year-old girl will never be coming home."
The shooting comes the same day former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty in the murder of George Floyd.
CNN's narrative, of course, is that the SAME DAY that the jury reached a verdict in the George Floyd case - another SIMILAR situation took place.
It is OBVIOUSLY not similar ---- the police were called to the scene because girls were being attacked by another girl with a knife
- the police were not arresting or interacting with the assailant themselves, but on behalf of another, presumably black, person (or two)
- the police were actively attempting to protect the lives of the other two girls
- the assailant is identified in the media as 15 years old, when she is actually 16 -- probably an attempt to maximize the sympathy factor

They need that girl in pink to say that the police officer saved her life. Which he did.
