But sentiments have been moving towards “no one deserves to die” so in that case you’ll have to reform the entire fabric of the police or abolish it as the movements been asking for.

As for the numerous shots, it’s to ensure the person loses consciousness at the very least, which eliminates the threat factor. This is caused by losing a certain amount of blood that you usually can’t guarantee by just 1-2 shots, as well as the type of gun (maybe a semi auto pistol), and the distance causing most bullets to miss usually during firing by police.

actually a good argument in defense of ma’khia’s actions

motherfuckers really defending 4 shots at a girls chest as justified, literal insanity

Hey, good idea

the more i listen and watch this the more complicated this gets

when i saw the initial headline, the timing and the story i was absolutely sick

now im so confused. i get that this feels like an open and shut case, cops are b******s etc. but this one a little different imo

this is a great take

this looks like a long time issue and the cop is now going to be the scape goat

this too

i dont mean this an offensive way, but she was a pretty big girl, i saw a video of her mother and id completely expect the daughter to overpower her in that situation.

Dont think the mother had much choice at stopping her

The police will never get abolished. That’s just never ever going to happen.

This wasn’t a girl just standing there with a knife. She was actively trying to stab another person. If the cop didn’t shoot and this girl stabs the out her girl and kills her then people would be screaming that the cop let someone be killed. And then the narrative in the media becomes “see all the scrutiny over shootings caused this cop to be indecisive and now someone died because of it”

Dude she was trying to stab someone

And you act like 4 shots is a lot? And the chest is center mass. That’s where cops and military and anyone who trains with guns is taught to shoot at.

Pretty sure if it was a white boy, the cops would have found a way that doesnt involve murder. Hell, the boy could have had a chainsaw instead of a knive and they wouldnt murder him.

You knew what you was doing when you posted this and i just want you to know you a whole ass b**** for this

Niggas posting intentionally misleading s*** just to throw a thread off corny asl

It’s sad cause the way self defense is viewed in this country kinda mostly depends on your skin color.

Oh she f***ing super man now?

You repeating what the pigs said about mike brown

I would like yall to get shot 1 time and see if that doesnt incapacitate you immediately

Kyle Rittenhouse being looked as a hero for bucking niggas in a whole other state he aint even need to be at. Ma’Khia being looked at as “crazy knife murderer” for defending herself in front of her own home. That Stand Your Ground law sure dont be really helping niggas out huh

We really gotta stop justifying jumping btw.

I know it’s off topic but it’s loser s*** to do, no one thinks you tough for doing it and you just lame and corny for that.

You don’t even gotta go back that far tbh lol just last month old boy shot up them Asian massage parlors and was taken into custody with no hassle

No, I didn’t say that. I’m saying that a shot to maim as she was already proceeding to stab might not have been enough.

Then we could have been looking at potentially TWO dead kids. Police aren’t trained TO maim, they’re trained to shoot in the torso area, grouped shots.

It’s a tragedy either way. Considering the very small window of time given I don’t know what else could have been REASONABLY (i.e. not bordering on the fantastical) done that would have resulted in a less tragic endpoint.

Obviously it’s the police’ fault for being such murderous scumbags in general that has resulted in so many people actively refusing to give a single officer the benefit of the doubt, but this is a complicated situation.

It’s understandable why people would feel the way they do though.

I only brought up kyle cause ppl argue self defense (the niggas he shot had the sticks too) but kyle didn’t have to be there.

Im 15. Mind not developed. These niggas are outside MY HOUSE 4 deep threatening me.

I feel you on that. I’m really mad that people let that s*** go that far, peeped the video and it’s adults stomping kids out and s***. Like wtf

I aint watched the vid.
