Its a sad situation and I'm sure there was a way that no one loses their life here. But the cop was put in a tough spot and honestly had he used a taser or not shot, there may have been more people dead today than the real result.

I also don't really have much sympathy for a person who was trying to murder others.

we need those mfs from the raid

F***in idiot

Doing what cops usually do... wasting our tax dollars

pulling up to the hood (or the house or whatever uno what I mean)

Ahh damn. I haven’t watched the video but I just assumed he was closer
Nigga must have good aim if he only hit her and not the other person too

I truly believe if this girl wasn’t black she doesn’t die

Dumb ass

Hmm.

Well if you are with your partner. Your partner covers you with lethal so you can use non-lethal. I swear I saw his partner next to him on the left in the video.

He still could've done a warning shot.

Or not have shot her 4 times..

I will now summon @Synopsis

!! That’s what I’m saying why was this dude alone in a situation with this many people? How many times you see all kind of back up and 7 officers for 1 person in a traffic stop you decide to not use that ability now?

People compare UK cops to US cops but there’s DRASTIC differences between the two countries and policing

People don’t have guns in the UK for the most part. It’s literally illegal to even carry knives in the UK I believe. And most UK cops don’t carry guns, only like their SWAT-style cops do I believe.

In the US every other person might be legally carrying a gun for all a cop knows.

Hmm maybe. I haven’t seen video but if this is the case then yea
In y’all opinion, you think rubber bullets would’ve stopped her as well in this case?

If the footage looks correct, she was trying to stab someone. It stinks, but I mean. What would you all do in this scenario?

The cop actually was trying to do his job and save another black person so idk

I didn't watch the video and can't cause I'm in class rn, but where did the officer shoot Makiah?

Man we were just coming to a collective agreement now everybody gonna start jumping him

Tasering isn't reliable. It's used to de-escalate before a crime occurs however this was mid attack of potentially another life

I don't like cops either but this is tragic

Nah, we don’t need more Police Officers

(specially ones who don’t know the lay of the land)

We need Better Police Officers. Peace Officers if you will.. Peace Corp background, Humanitarian Background, etc..

Not all cops ride with a partner.

tbf the situation set off less than 2 seconds aftet the officer got out the car. he did everything before they were able to even know what was going on

he approached the woman in the pink so she could explain the situation then literally before you know it the same woman is about to be stabbed. his other officers had barely got out of the car by the time everything set off

there was a vid released from the neighbors security cam that showed him getting out

Ima sit on this one, because I’m trying to see how scary this situation looks off of the video if these are all white people

that would probably agitate her more if i'm being honst

You're a weirdo

Dude even pull his gun out when the girl was literally right next to him before she went in to stab the girl in pink

no, the other girl would die because she would get stabbed, that's how real s*** is
