All things considered, there is a good chance he is living with a cop. A lot of them seem to really like the kid.

Plot twist: he's been in the judge's basement the whole time.

There's additional footage where it shows it might be a cellphone.

On Heavy.com there's a clear image of the knife.

Regardless of whether that girl had a knife or a cellphone I think there’s a way to de-escalate this situation without having to use lethal force. Why not a taser or even pepper spray? Unless its actually proven that victim was armed with a gun, I still feel there should be non-lethal ways of subduing a perceived threat in this case.

Hmm idk it was a split second decision given one of the girls involved was about to be stabbed when police shot her.

And I saw a video of officers telling bystanders "Blue Lives Matter" at the crime scene.

I suspect Columbus PD is not going to handle deescalating tensions very well.

It's also worth noting that Kyle Rittenhouse and Dylan Roof were taken alive after shooting multiple people, Rittenhouse while walking toward the police lines still carrying an assault weapon, and the police took Roof for Burger King after a massacre in a church, yet a 15-year-old girl can't be subdued without emptying a gun into her?

I get the fact that Rittenhouse and IIRC Roof both surrendered themselves to the police without resistance, while she was mid-fight and possibly (given there's some ambiguity about whether she was holding a knife or a cellphone) about to inflict deadly bodily harm on another teenage girl, but isn't that what tasers are for? Or even one bullet to a non-lethal area, before four shots to the chest?

Did Police Take Dylann Roof to Burger King?

Dylann Roof wasn't taken to Burger King after being picked up by police, a cop went and got him a burger after he had been in custody for some time. I don't know why he wasn't given food from wherever he was being held, maybe they didn't have food at that facility. Either way, even garbage has their civil liberties as someone else here said the other day.

Tasers don't always work if the prongs don't penetrate the skin of the target. If that cop pulled his taser and it doesn't connect, the girl in pink is getting stabbed.

It's harder to shoot someone in the leg that in the torso. If he goes for her legs and misses, the girl in pink is getting stabbed. Plus, you hit the femoral artery in someone's leg they can bleed out quick and die anyway. I've seen it work when the person holding a knife was standing almost completely still, not charging someone like this girl was. Someone mentioned pepper spray which doesn't work when you're facing the person's back.

Justification for busting black and brown people's heads open and other who support them, is what a lot of these *******s live for.

I've watched the footage and it's a hell of a small reaction window. There was a lot going on and the dad hail Mary kicked another girl in the head while the victim was going for the girl in pink with a knife.

Normally I'm never on the cops' side, but the footage is jarring. A moment's hesitation and the girl in pink might be dead. Plus, I would charge the hell out of the monster adult man who soccer kicked a teenage girl in the head. Like wtf.

It's hard to say if this could have gone another way. It's not like he pulled up and pulled his gun and told people to get on the ground. It all escalated in the blink of an eye.

Whose Dad was it?

 

[Donner]

Whose Dad was it?

From what I understand, it was the victim's dad. She called him over to the foster house. He kept saying "you shot my baby."

But did he need to put four bullets in her?

 

[Detective Conan]

Of course Tucker Carlson’s one “bad day” that would transform him into the Joker would be the conviction of a white man for murdering a black man....

 

[Donner]

But did he need to put four bullets in her?

She was attacking someone with a knife. What if he shot her once, waited to see what would happen, and the girl continued her attack?

She was a threat. Let's not forget, his actions likely saved the life of the black woman who was being attacked. She's probably grateful.

This is everyday for people of color. You don't see much ire for this kind of stuff though, this constant state people live in while others don't pay much mind. However it is amazing how many people will cry themselves into sheer exhaustion if some property isn't treated with the upmost respect.

These are my thoughts. Because the girl was in the act of stabbing down, it was a good shoot. Again it would be nice to have more non-lethal options, but we don't, not with such a tiny window to act.

I have a question, because it seems that a lot of people here who probably don't have the inherent issues with cops a lot of us might for one reason or another, seem to like to talk about stuff like "tiny windows to act".

Why are cops allowed to be so lousy at decision making, even in a small window, one they themselves quite often make? Like when that 13 year old boy was killed because the cop decided to not check of the hands he told the kid to put in the air were empty. He asked that by the way. For the kid to put his hands in the air.

Here we have a situation where the cop pulls up and ask what is going on. He sees someone get attacked. He does not go for his taser, he goes for his gun first. The child was more then close enough to hit with a taser. If he had one, and I am not sure there is a reason to think he didn't, he could have tased her.

Why do cops, who are suppose to be good at decision making under pressure because it is literally their job, get a free pass where citizens don't? Hell people will spend months destroy an athlete for poor decision making in mere seconds, why is it cops don't get this kind of scrutiny?

Hmmm... anyone asking why the cops didn't fear the guy had a gun in his car and thus needed to shoot him to be sure? I wonder what the difference is...

Charges: Luke Oeltjenbruns Dragged Police Officer With Truck, Struck Him With Hammer

I don't know how many times I have been told that a car is a lethal weapon to justify shooting a person of color. They knew this man assaulted someone, he was trying to run them over, and yet, figured out a way to not shoot him.

White people in America will look at these two situation, and instead of asking, "why did the cops act differently" they try to figure out a way to justify why a cop shot someone "by accident". It is unreal how little self-reflection way too many Americans have.

I hope the trend of sending cops guilty of murder and other crimes to prison continues then.
