They’ve got a new hero to riot over in Columbus OH

[Boomhauer]

16 year old (according to her mother) 15 year old (according to the all knowing journos) “sweet child” and “honor roll student” gets shot by evil white racist cop because she was unarmed yet lovingly stabbing another girl.

Yea she took lead for trying to stab people.  Well deserved for sure.

But, in other people’s mind they say “why not taser her”.....

She was a big girl, 220lbs I read.

The image of a cop shooting a teenage girl for the average person that hears the story probably isn't an angry  220lb woman attacking with a knife and not complying with commands to stop.

People always have an image of what the way they think things are.  Some people picture a teenager as some skinny little kid like David Hogg and cops as big muscular linebackers.  Neither is always true or even likely.

I can't see a knife in this.  It looks like just fist fighting at first glance.  If she was stabbing people, I can certainly understand why he went to guns.

Can clearly see a knife in her hand and using it to stab or at the very least attempt to stab the other girl with it at 4:56

[Ron]

Knife in hand at the 4:55 time stamp, going in for the stab.

As a non leo I say, "good shoot."

[WLJ]

In a sane world the headline would have been
"Hero police officer saves life of young girl from attacker"
But we're not living in a sane world.

The bruiser of a female thinks it's a good idea to try and stab someone after the cops arrive. The guy (foster dad?) thinks it's a good idea to kick a downed teenager in the head after the cops arrive, then yell about the cops shooting a teenager attempting to stab a teenager.

[Ron]

After browsing a few stories it looks like they are claiming her actions were some form of self defense.

In this current environment, I would suggest any LEO who could be described as white by the media get out of any dept where they are coming into contact with a black community. Let Black communities police themselves.

Let go, give up the White mans burden, it's a lie.

[Pb]

Wow, that was some fast acting by the policeman!!!   

It looks like the deceased almost got the knife in that other girl.

Odd how the linked article didn't mention that at all.

They hate black police also.

[Ron]

They hate black police also.

If they want to leave also I wouldn't begrudge them that decision.

DEFUND & ABOLISH POLICE, REFUND OUR COMMUNITIES

Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons. We do not need police to address these situations  by showing up to the scene & using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y’all need help. I mean that sincerely.

A quote from a Fox News article:

"I’m very upset, I’m hurt. I want answers," Paula Bryant told 10TV.

"My daughter dispatched Columbus police for protection, not to be a homicide today," she added.

I never know what to trust anymore, but this appears to suggest that the girl who was shot is the one who called the cops?

[WLJ]

If she called the cops then why didn't she go to them when they showed up instead of going after the other girl?

Gallows humor:

Man, at 5:23 that little purse dog that the lady in pink had been holding is sitting there looking around like "WTF just Happened?"  It's expression made me chuckle.

[WLJ]

Now watch the other girl go on camera and claim we were just playing and there was no knife and then this white cop showed up and started shooting and that will be the narrative.

She was also a foster child -- which means she had been taken away from the mother who is now publicly crying over the death of her sweet daughter.

Funny how knife fights (even if only one person has a knife) are suddenly these cool things that people - especially teens - do, and there's no reason to stop them, because, like, nobody gets hurt. It's all fun times!

Not that this assailant knew how to handle a knife, and not that I've ever been in a knife fight myself, but reading what experts have written, "There are no winners in a knife fight." I think that I would much rather get into a gunfight than a knife fight. That these idiot progressives are acting like it's a pillow fight is shameful.

[makattak]

Watching the video I have to say not only good shoot, but amazing shoot.

That little time to react, innocent target IMMEDIATELY behind the aggressor and only shot the one with the knife? No innocents shot at all?

Well done, officer.

This just happened on Monday. https://www.wlwt.com/article/family-devastated-after-13-year-old-stabbed-by-former-friend-during-fight-dies/36180426

[T.O.M.]

This is in my part of the world.  People around work have raised an interesting issue.  Ohio now has Stand Your Ground laws.  If dead girl was attacked as has been claimed, by other his armed with knives, dead girl has a legal right to use deadly force to protect herself.  If accurate, the officer may have shot someone acting in self defense.

My time on the Medic One unit left me with a respect for the carnage that edged weapons can cause.  I could make one quick slash across your femoral artery in your groin, and you will probably bleed out before the aid unit arrives.
