It's like people want a rolling target of outrage, protests, trials and threats of burning down stuff.

Police officer rolls up on a scene he knows nothing about and sees people brawling on the ground then someone goes after another with a knife and, in MID-STAB, he shoots her. In a movie that would be the culminating scene where the bad guy finally get's theirs and everyone in the audience cheers. What the what are the IDIOTS screeching about and why the F! did the media, BLM, WH, and stupid celebrities choose to lie about it?

What were all the adults on scene doing to deescalate this? Nothing. I used to care about this sort of thing and think it needed attention, but not anymore. There are just too many idiots at all levels for me to bother with. And btw...16 is a teenager, it isn't "a child", it's LITERALLY the age the Dems have proposed lowering the voting age to.

This wasn't on the news because the cop was black.

police officer rolls up on a scene and lights on or not, exits the vehicle. As he approaches, the perpetrator chases and stabs 1 person, who falls to the ground. an adult male then kicks that victim, as the cop turns and sees the perp lunging at another potential victim.

His mere presence didn't calm the situation down - see the stab and the kick.

If the police didn't shoot the stabber, would the OTHER girl's mother be screaming racism that the cop did NOT protect HER daughter?

It was the worst take the WH could have put out there. Morons, all of them

She was trying to stab two different girls.

That's how you deal with deadly force.

Too many movies watched I see.

The police are trained to shoot to kill and that is the way it should be. The police officer has to take out the person who is trying to kill another person.

I still haven't seen anything where the WH said this was racism. They've said to look at it...but thats a very different statement. As usual everyone wants to claim what the left means, while ignoring what they actually said.

It was a legit shoot, and appears to have EASILY met the requirements to use deadly force. The only folks really going on and on and on about this seems to be the right wing folks who....seem to want to make this a thing?
