Nobody said blue lives matter.
One of the cops on scene had that black American flag hat with the blue line, one of the bystanders made a comment about it and said blue lives matter while he was s***ting on the cop
I hate the police just as much as the next dude but this Twitter disinformation is outta hand on both sides
tbf that IS the blue lives matter ‘flag’ tho
Today I learned that the UK is a movie or Video game
UK cops don’t even carry guns because their citizens don’t have guns.
Why are you comparing 2 entirely different situations
He couldn’t have tased her? UK police deal with knife crimes all the time and their cops rarely if ever kill civilians.
She didn’t have to die period
The only issue with this is that tasers don't always work immediately like how we'd think, and she could have still stabbed. The distance was just too close to be sure that it would work.
It f***ing sucks, but I still agree that 4 shots is too much and that cop is stupid.
All the adults who stood around letting it happen were also idiots.
If this was self-defense the girl getting stabbed kinda deserves it but if it was pure aggression idk if people can defend her, I’ll just wait for the evidence to come out
probably a mix of both

There were no guns in this situation so this is irrelevant
What do ya'll think happens in other countries when someone pulls out a knife? The police don't gun them down, even when they are being attacked because there are so many non lethal ways of disarming someone. Last year in France a man went after a police officer with two knives and they used tasers and rubber bullets to subdue him before anyone was hurt and no one died.

And this is happening in countries where knife violence is on the rise. They still manage not to kill their own people.
The fact is, our cops are trained to kill and not to deescalate situations or to use non lethal methods instead of their guns. She did not have to die.
You guys are acting like the cop shot to save his own life
HE WAS SAVING THE OTHER GIRL
This girl didn’t have a knife and was just standing around or waving it around or something
She was literally in mid f***in stab
There were no guns in this situation so this is irrelevant
Reading comprehension. Work on it.
tbf that IS the blue lives matter ‘flag’ tho
Oh yeah it definitely is, but people on Twitter were acting like he shouted out blue lives matter at the crowd of people. The cracka didn’t say s***, he was just standing there with the hat
Because this isn’t a movie or video game
The cop sure shot her like it was a video game, don’t you think 4 shots is overkill?

This response doesn’t work with what I just said.

I want to ask someone who knows biology where the trajectory of that swing was going and if it would be attempted murder or what
Stfu
I mean he's literally right tho.
You're comparing someone who HAD the knife on them while actively attacking someone. How was the cop supposed to detain them without the other person getting stabbed?
Dylan Roof got caught in a traffick stop. He didn't even have the assault rifle you mentioned on him.
The cop sure shot her like it was a video game, don’t you think 4 shots is overkill?
No I don’t. Cause you don’t know if your first or second shot is gonna miss so you fire multiple times until you visually can see your target go down.
It’s not like he shot once, waited, shot again, waited, shot again
He fired 4 shot in literally a second.

Go read my other responses
I’m telling you this is not a name to add to that list bro it’s unfortunate and horrible but this is not a black moment to make something out of
how come they didn’t just use a taser?
My exact thoughts
there are 3 options that the officer can do
1. The officer attempts to tase a larger size girl which may fail statistically and there is a chance other girl will still get stabbed
2. Officer shoots the girl once, she possibly won’t die and she’ll fall to the ground most likely taking out the threat
3. Shooting her 4 times which definitely kills her
Imagine... not having the freedom of thought... same 💩 Kanye was talking about
Yeah Kanye was talking about it, but he was uninformed
Same with Envy.

It’s impossible to know. But you don’t gamble with someone’s life like that.

Gun was out and she was mid swing, maybe he should’ve had the taser out first
even in very bad situations we should be reluctant to celebrate or normalise the killing of citizens by agents of the state imo
