Should the Columbus cop have just let teenage girls get stabbed?

Why do so many cons feel the need to make up some BS caricature of liberals, to try to make a point?

Why does the White House feel the need to turn every police shooting into a testament of white supremacy? You’re not a caricature, nor are the others that post here - can’t say the same for the leaders you vote for.

We will never know her intent. She’s dead.

We do know her intent. We don’t know if she would have carried it through. The outcome.

@Ex-Pat

It’s relevant to people saying she did not comply to the officer’s demands.

Why? She didn’t comply. End of story. Literally.

Didn’t comply with a directive she didn’t hear?

Watching the slow motion video, the girl in the pink appears to parry the knife attack. Of course the attack might have been weaken by her fatal injury a split second beforehand.

“Oh, well she’s a girl. She probably can’t hear me anyway…”

LOL… Pretty demeaning but oh well.

A lot of people caught up in the heat of the moment don’t hear anything around them. I think there is a term for it… temporary insanity?

[SixFoot]

Well, you know how girls suck at listening.

Can you link that video please.

We did know her intent. It is clear from the video.

Yes, she is dead.

I’m actually just repeating what a Trump voting middle school principal once told me. He would definitely know though.

@WuWei

Agreed. But @Ex-Pat has a point.

I must be missing the point.

Sigh… So true (sarcasm).

Are you referring to the statement by the PS? Or just pols in general?
Pols, often say stupid things…BTW, I do not see any pols as leaders, I see them as a representatives. They work for us. They rarely lead us…

Apparently it is important to you enough to repeat it and make the claim that it isn’t your fault how you post.

Columbus police kill Ma'Khia Bryant, 16, who attacked 2 with knife

At about the 30 second mark. Knife looked like it was heading for her left shoulder. Girl in the pink dropped the dog and was ready for it.

You can’t comply with something you didn’t hear.

[WuWei]

That’s a simple classic defensive posture. Instinct.

@WuWei

She has the knife out, has a hold of the target and the elbow cocked back. Time is up.

Are you suggesting, a full adult male, with training, would not be able to disarm a knife from a 16 year old girl using physical tactics? Sure, he could have got hurt…but certainly not killed.

The resort to shoot to kill, in nearly all instances, is apparently how police are being trained today.

Of course, the next question…if it was a white girl…would he have been so quick to shoot to kill.

If said about a dude when his wife was talking, point.

Before she stabbed the victim, you couldn’t do it.

[DMK]

Instinct. Good for her.
