I have not heard what was going on before the police arrived - perhaps just another distressed kid meets American trigger happy cop story. We will see.
There now you can see for yourself exactly what was going on when he arrived and was forced to shoot to stop an attempted stabbing.
I'm always still in trouble again

Let's be perfectly clear - the TITLE of this thread is BOGUS ---- but that is what the media was reporting even when they KNEW it wasn't just about a "teenager holding a knife". It was a steaming pile of horsie poo from the start.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The officer had two choices ---- stop the immediate deadly threat to another human being - or don't do anything and allow the victim to be stabbed to death.

*well, I take that back - in this crazy world, BLM and corporate BOZOs could get involved and persuade a judge and/or jury to do something really really stupid.

Obviously the cop has to intervene in some way, but does he really have to fire four times, when she had not herself inflicted injury on anyone else. What steps had the other girls taken either to enrage the victim or remove themselves from danger?

Do you really think that that knife would not have ended up in the body of the girl in pink? If that is what you think, you are not only blind, but stupid.
