Ok again I don’t care about UK cops disarming knives because every situation is different.

Can you actually find an example that mirrors this case?

So in general u dont care that there is flaws in how this cop handle this s***

So you rather gamble with an innocent person life to try and save a murderer?

I’m not speaking on any other case. Only this one.

a murderer

Yeah I think trying to stab someone would qualify as attempted murder

lol we just different

I don’t understand why you’re downplaying the attempted stabbing

The girl literally screams “BITCH IM GONNA STAB YOU” and then goes to do it

cop was justified in use of force, however i think it was excessive to kill rather than incapacitate

tazer/disabling using melee tactics would be unrealistic due to the relative distance

it's a tragic situation and i wish it wasn't handled like this, i hate seeing people on the right trying to use this incident to demonize BLM/Ma'Kiah Bryant as someone who "deserved it" or lefties being unable to differentiate between legally justified use of force and unjustified use of force and comparing this situation to the george floyd incident when it's very different (your arguments hold no merit when you have no nuance)

i've heard the defense with the ohio version of the "stand your ground" law and that seems to have merit and i hope it's true, so this can get cleared up

Why do people keep bringing this up? The cop isn't asking himself "who is going to get hurt more, the girl with the knife or the other girl." He's asking what he can do to keep the girl in pink from being stabbed.

If you actually applied this logic, then the cop shouldn't have tased her either, cause a taser is less harmful than a knife.

also if the cop let the girl get stabbed, the right-wing blue lives matter crowd would be blaming BLM on a black girl getting stabbed because "the cop was afraid to shoot because he would get his life destroyed by BLM", they would use this narrative for months and lefties would be mad because the police officer didn't do his duty

Cop shot the kid the cop shot the kid

But you can save the girl that gets stabbed

Can't save the girl with 4 bullets in her chest

I seen a cop taser 5 dudes at a airport that were fighting and they all dropped to the ground simultaneously

Stop the cap

this is not a good argument, it doesn't come down to what's a better call, it comes down to justified use of force, which the cop legally was allowed to do, i think the shoot to kill was excessive and he should've just incapacitated

Which is the problem

Idk why y'all don't understand that

Cops should be able to a***yze a situation then make a decision

Problem with cops is when there's any hostile event the 1st thing they think to do is shoot

Plus he could of hit other people shooting recklessly SMH

He could of made better decisions

And now a child is dead

it definitely wouldn't, couldn't, and shouldn't happen overnight tbh. we can start with something probably everyone except cops would agree with, busting police unions

I unno about all that therapist stuff ngl

But I don't think its worth it to have all American Cops carry a gun.

If you need to commit bodily harm, you're incentivized to use a gun rather than develop more creative ways to handle a situation that may result in the preservation of life.

Do I think this Cop f***ed up? Not really, he did what he could with what he had. However, say this Cop is forced into a situation where him and his fellow Cop have to actually use a taser or pepper spray. Like it's a domestic occurrence, lol.

The only reason this is a difficult thing is because America is so deep into these historical culture wars with a burgeoning gun wielding populace that makes it hard to actually do anything.

S*** is ass, a world where Police are incentivize to creatively combat situations or where research dollars are put into devising more effective less than lethal weapons is what we should be striving for.

Some girl running outside her home because she felt so threatened she felt the need to bolt out her house and stab someone and gets shot as a result is a societal failure.

Honestly, I don't think they would care. S***, if the girl in the pink did get stabbed I don't even think we'd hear about the story.

Has there been any reports on how the parents of the girl about to get stabbed feels towards the cop? If that was my daughter I’d be thanking him

These are some trampoline park tier mental gymnastics my g

I’m not a doctor or an emergency room medical professional so idk

Although allowing someone to get stabbed because you don’t want to shoot the aggressor isn’t exactly something I agree with
