    And, yes, the person with the knife was portrayed as "a 15 year old teen". Sounds rather innocuous, eh?
    Who we'll soon be informed that she
    • was a sweet, lovable child who was always smiling, never angry and an utter joy to be around.
    • had a bright and promising future, wanting to go to college after graduating.

    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.

    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.

    Given that today we have someone puttering about the White House who is an advocate for the concept of "truth over facts" we can only expect more and more of this.

    A chaotic scene with multiple people scuffling and attacking each other. The officer seemed surprisingly calm under the circumstances, just saying, "Hey, get down! Get down! Get down!" as he drew his weapon. He wasn't even yelling, just raised his voice. The girl dressed in black had a knife raised and was lunging towards the girl in pink when the officer opened fire. It's actually pretty impressive that he hit his intended target because the two girls were very close to each other.

    Yeah, she was doing more than merely holding a knife.
