it isn't about the cop's understanding of the situation; i'm saying that the girl isn't defending herself if she's aware of the cops' presence and decides to try to stab someone instead of appealing to the police she called. i'm assuming that she called the cops because she wanted a form of defense (i dunno what other reason there'd be, but there could be a diff reason), so their arriving to handle the situation would be that. her stabbing someone in the presence of the police isn't self-defense bc the police she called gave her much more control over the situation than before. i'm really not sure what motivated her to do such and that's why i'm surprised that the info says she called the police

If that was my gf, sister or mom being attacked with a knife, s*** I would be thankful a police officer was there to shoot the attacker.

The fact is: the police officer saved a black woman from being stabbed, and for some reason y'all want to make it a racial/BLM thing?

LeBron what a clown

And he couldn't have said drop the weapon or I'll shoot in the time he kept saying get down to someone who's back is to him and clearly not paying attention?

Ya gf mom or sister shouldn't pull up to someone's home 4 deep looking to harm them if they don't wish to be stabbed.

he said “you’re next ⌛️ #accountability”

people taking that as a death threat are so stupid..he just wants accountability like with the Chauvin case what’s wrong with that?

so many people turning replies off cause they know they’re being dumb as f***

When this story gets a ton of press and controversy in the news and acknowledgement from the WH, but something like what happened to Casey Goodson Jr. in our city is barely a blip on the radar nationally, it really does make you wonder if there are people trying to push certain things just to create tensions.

His name is Casey Goodson Jr.

Its autocorrect sry

Although I feel the police officer will get off due to legal justification, there should still be an investigation.

She charged someone with a knife a couple feet infront of the police. I don't think she's listening to all that bro and more importantly, there wasn't enough time to talk her out of it unfortunately.

Have we watched the same video lol? What you're suggesting would clearly end with the pink girl suffering multiple stab wounds

Yeah, I feel like activists should not use this to further the BLM movement because it will not work, this is not a case like George Floyd or Duante Wright, this will be seen as justified by a lot of people.

FACTS

I'm saying tho.. getting stabbed for jumping someone seems a much more appropriate consequence than getting shot to death for defending yourself

The dumbass even delete it. He won't even stand with his own ideals that's why he is a clown.

That's what I'm saying. I'm supposed to feel because a girl rolled 4 deep to someone house to harm them almost got hurt? You play stupid games you win stupid prizes. Her problem was calling the police.

I’m not saying it’s wrong but this whole notion that officers shoot to disarm or to only shoot the legs/arms isn’t based in fact. If an officer is shooting its to shoot to kill because someone’s life is in eminent danger which it is in this situation.

and if you stab them in front of a cop you getting shot

Dude tasers are for when someone won’t comply with an officer not for when someone’s life is in danger. Especially when tasers only actually have a 50% success rate

Just a sad situation all around. Don’t get coaxed into responding to this s*** racially because ultimately, they’ll use it as justification for why our anger is misguided. That’s why this particular story just happens to be getting a bit more coverage than others

Bruh the cop just pulled up there and all he sees is a girl rushing another girl with a knife. In that instant you have to make a call based off what is presently happening not off what happened before you got there.

Three to four teenage girls and one knife.. what kind of cop are you if this situation is too much?

It's funny cause if not for the cops coming nobody would fault her for stabbing shorty. She should've handled her business without the cops.

??? I’m talking about the girl in pink getting charged at by the girl with the knife. That’s it. Idk why you guys think cops are some martial arts experts who can just magically disarm someone or that cops can just aim perfectly in the heat of the moment to only hit limbs which wouldn’t even be a guaranteed way to disarm someone.
