    As is every religion, ever, that is not proclaiming Christ as Saviour and repentance from sin and faith not works.

      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

        There's actual video - just like there was in the George Floyd situation. She had tried to attack one girl with a knife, and was actually in the process of stabbing another when she was shot.
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          • 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.

              .... and why? I think we may find that she was the victim of bullying or some such thing, and was simply sorting out her tormentors.

                So you would have been perfectly fine if the officer had just stood there and let her stab the other girl.

                Got it.

                  Obviously FF would have been happy if the girl was stabbed to death...

                    But you exude stupidity.

                    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.

                        Fox has been showing a video from a neighbor's security camera (from across the street) - it shows a wide angle view of what was going on. In it you can see that the cop really had no choice and everything happened in a few seconds. I haven't seen that video posted online yet but if I do I will post it here.

                          Most police departments have a mandatory "shooting board" that will look at the facts and determine if it was a "righteous shooting". This cop has absolutely nothing to worry about*.


                          *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.

                            Noboby else was hurt. Maybe, nobody else would have been hurt. We will never know.

                            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?

                            Shoot first, ask questions later, seems to be your answer.

                              i don't think that has been established by the evidence. Lets not be seduced by notions of pre-crime, like in Minority Report. You don't want to be getting involved with dodgy eye surgery.

                                He didn't shoot first. He told her to get down, and in the 9 seconds he had to act, he did what he thought was best to stop her from stabbing the other girl.

                                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.
