      Both seem to know far more about our own country than we do, and wish to set us straight.
      We can think about how this might have turned out differently. Ma'Khia was passive when she walked out of the house. Girl 1 set her off, M rushed her and girl 1 tripped while going backwards. Immediately, grey man starts kicking girl 1. Pink girl approaches the fight, when M immediately turns and pushes her backwards.

      So, who are the aggressors? Was M just standing up for her poor Grandmother?

      The cop cannot be blamed, but I think it very likely that he misunderstood the situation.

      • This is not up to your usual standards of trolling.
        Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

          When you pin on a badge and work a beat in a troubled part of town, and actually face down threats, THEN tell me how police should do their jobs.

          Til then, just shut up.
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            Something roughly 6" long, plus the handle or grip, and that played a crucial role in all of this, appears to be missing from your summation

                  Stabbings are pretty rare and it would be doubly rare to see a stabbing, even attempted, on video. It is likely that something else was happening. She holds her arm down and slightly behind, then bends her elbow and extends the wrist bringing the knife to head level, where her opponent can see it. This might not be a stabbing action.

                  The events and circumstances will be examined. Notice that the police have not identified the caller. Why?

                    double wrong - everybody has a camera these days, police dash cams, officer body cams, citizen phone cams....

                    And you might not be a , but my money is on 'yes'.

                    They already have been.

                    Notice that the police have not identified the caller. Why?
                    Because it doesn't matter who the caller is -- what matters is that the officer saw TWO people in immediate risk of loss of life, and took action, as he should.

                            I bet it matters to officer Nicholas Reardon.

                            When Captain J T Kirk policed the galaxy, before going into a potentially dangerous situation, he would always order “phasers on stun.”

                            In this case, as soon as he steps out of his cruiser, Reardon is ready to administer deadly force. Before he fired, he already knows that the first girl attacked by someone with a knife, is not stabbed.

                              The officer deals with what he/she sees on arrival at the scene with the dispatch information he/she has available. Periodl

                              That's how it works, an no amount of insane reasoning changes that. Doesn't matter if the call was initiated by Pee Wee Herman.

                                And at that point the mystery of whatever happened to JimL's bong was solved.

                                Even your fellow stoners/heads/chronics or whatever "kids these days" are calling y'all, probably looked at you strange when you said that out loud. Unfortunately it appears that you misread their laughter as being their thinking it was funny, and so you figured you'd share it and hence we arrive at your post
