Yeah that’s what makes me throw my benefit of the doubt out the window

While everything your saying is true. Look at the still at the moment of shooting. There was no talking this girl down. Her arm is literally a micro second away from stabbing her.

The adults on the scene should have calmed the situation before the cops even got there. Its almost like it was entertainment, until s*** got real for them. How did no adult just remove girls from the situation and say go in f***ing houses.

Well at the end of the day, regardless of how’s it’s looked at from us outsiders, He shot shorty to protect someone else

Another question I have is why is the grown ass man, supposedly her father out fighting kids instead of trying to stop his daughter from catching a case?

In video games you’re a trained navy seal or a hit man or someshit I doubt this police officer is trained to shoot accurately at very specific points of body like the kneecaps at range taser, gun, it was a fast paced scenario and obviously the officer wasn’t prepared/experienced enough for it

The more you look at this the less sense it makes. Adults are clearly right there, so what the f*** going on here? If the adults there saw home girl come out with a kitchen knife to defend herself this whole situation should've been handled right then and there. S***, if adults are present I don't see how they let a group of girls start attacking one of them without it being taken care of with the swiftness.

What the hell going on here

Exactly. It’s like it was entertainment until s*** got real. Grab your f***ing child and out her ass inside.

Exactly. The entire situation is f***ed.

These cops are still racist and still need to be fired for their comments and actions after. But the shooting is justified 🤷🏽‍♂️

The adults at the scene need to take accountability as well. The moment the girls showed up the adults should have ended it. Cops didn’t have to be called.

If you look at the video even one of the adults tried to kick the girl in the head that was downed 🤦‍♂️

Yeah, while this is still sad this ain’t the same situation as the deaths of George Floyd and countless others.

he kicked that other girl in the head and after the police officer shot the girl, he was like "she's just a kid"
the whole situation is just so f***ed up

its def justified after seeing body cam footage but the way they handled it after made it seem like it wasn't. like throwing unnecessary comments isn't gonna do this any good. adults def should've done a better job with handling the situation, idk about with the knife though

Facts.

Emotions are high man. It was very reactionary and given the context of the s*** that just happened with Chauvin, its understandable.

The truth is that these people hate us and will do this on purpose because they know they'll probably get off easily. They don't care about the protests or the backlash they'll receive because at the same time they'll be applauded by the ones that are just like them. It's sad to say but like pac once said "some things will never change".

The only person that said blue lives matter was one of the neighbors yelling at the cops. One of the cops had a mask designed after the blue lives matter flag and dude was yelling at him and saying “blue lives matter is an insult” and why he would wear that at a shooting, then someone put the video on Twitter saying it was the cops yelling blue lives matter because the audio isn’t totally clear.

I just seen a still from the video and honestly he couldn’t have been close enough or quick enough to use the taser before shawty got stabbed . Still not f***ing with the four times or the comment but yea

yeah the fact that this happened on chauvin's trial, i'm not blaming anybody for being pissed at this

Facts they should be fired. How do you behave like that after killing someone.

People need to set aside emotions and look at the facts.

Could the adults deescalated the situation. Yes!
Was the girls seconds away from stabbing some. Yes!
Could the cop have not killed her. Potentially!
Is the shooting justified. Yes!
Should the cops be fired for their blue lives matter comments. Yes!

This nigga spittin

I'm never giving police the benefit of the doubt. In sorry that ship has sailed. Stop killing black people. Plain and simple.

Agree with this.

Imagine calling the cops to save you from getting beat up and instead they murder you.

comparing a taser to rubber bullets, what would be more effective in a situation like this ? like others have said itt, not every cop should be equipped with lethal weapons. rubber bullets would suffice no ?

Rubber bullets still crazy af and at that range I think it's still gonna do some serious damage, but at least it's non-lethal.
