True.
The cop unfortunately acted in the best way possible (in his eyes) based on the information being processed in that moment. There's an apparent attacker wielding a knife and is moments away from possibly killing someone. Take too long and someone is dead, act now and someone gets shot/tased and still someone possibly dies.
If only the people present did more to prevent the altercation, or even tried to help disarm the child before the cops showed up, then this wouldn't have happened.
It's sad as f***.
Facts bro
Such a sad situation
All it took was one leg shot.... going for the chest 4 times was murder
A leg shot can still kill, and even then wouldn’t have immediately incapacitated the girl mid lunge
Or should he had have shot her in the Achilles’ tendon on some swift John wick s***?
If she was trying to stab someone else it wasn’t that cop job to kill her. The only way he had a right is if she tried to stab him or a fellow officer. Even then he could’ve gave her a leg shot or a arm shot.... he just wanted to kill a black kid that day and with that being said i hope his mother get shot the same way so he can see how that hurt feel.....
I don’t disagree with you but isn’t a cops job to protect and serve? If a knife wielding maniac is coming at me with the intent to kill and a cop was there I would definitely expect that cop to protect me and neutralize that attacker.
I don't know.
I get that using the taser doesn't always work but shooting 4 times is also alot.... Feels really weird... If he had to use his gun he might aswell have shot her to immobilize her.
Shooting 4 times just seems alot.

Shoot the leg argument is superfluous. It’s just as lethal. He used lethal force because he determined lethal danger for the other girl. That’s really it

Exactly. That could easily end with the attacker getting shot in the leg, not being neutralized because she was already lunging, stabbing the other girl in the throat and then they both bleed out. Or just the cop missing altogether, because shooting a moving target that small isn’t even consistent at the range, let alone a split-second decision. Its not Red Dead Redemption.

my thoughts exactly. like the situation is f***ed but 4-5 times for a 15 year old seems like a lot

A few years ago someone randomly started attacking people with a cleaver in a train station in the netherlands.
Dutch police shot him twice in the hip which didn't kill him
It's possible sometimes, not always though. Police just needs to be more competent all around the world.
She wasn’t acting in self defense at the moment she came charging with the knife
Some of y’all really don’t know what is and what isn’t self defense

there is no safe place to be shot without risk of death, and the leg is one of the most dangerous places to be hit.
there's around...6? 7? arteries in the leg, each one of them about the width of a finger. the most vital of which is the femoral artery. if you're unfortunate enough to be shot there, you can easily die anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.
In my opinion of this situation there’s just a lot more to unpack here than most black and white situations in the past
Cool. I dont care
Yall clowns really be out here with the "fuck the police" s*** but then bend over backwards to figure out how to justify this murder or that murder
Says the dude who thinks people like Chauvin shouldn’t be in prison

If 3 or 4 people still tryna fight you even though you just came back out with a knife what is that then?

Yeah I agree with you. Sad she met this fate, but calling the cops and then charging at someone with a knife doesn’t really help. For him it seems it was one or the other

She was not being attacked when she came charging with a knife and ready to kill.

Cop had pulled up beforehand. lights, sounds, etc. already out of the car and coming when she decided to go aggressively against the others with a knife. That’s not self defense to the cop making a split decision with a knife at someone else’s throat
