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?

If Ms. Bryant went through with her attack and plunged her knife into the other girl, the stabee may very well have recieved a serious wound. But as the mortality rates from stabbings are quite low - I've seen it estimated to be around 3 or 4% - not immediately pumping four bullets into the body of the teenage girl would have resulted in one less child's corpse.

The cop wasn't in immediate danger and no one else was wielding a firearm. There were many other ways to handle this situation. No one should have lost their life that day.

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

Sadly, not close to a trend yet.

He found one of the many good cops. Black and brown people just happen to find not as great cops. Honestly, it's our fault.

'It Didn't Change': North Carolina Town Demands Answers After Another Fatal Shooting

A white man tries to kill the cops. Comes in alive. Black man tries to drive away from the cops, dead. So we will find how he had a bazooka or maybe they thought he might have one, and thus justified in killing him. You know, even as he ran away.

The cop pulled his gun first, then went to his taser while the guy was running away. The criminal is only running away at that point, not in the process of trying to stab someone else, so nobody's life is at stake if the prong's don't hit. Not a good comparison.

You seem to think that people care that a taser might not work. As if people aren't asking the cops to exhaust options before murdering people of color. But that's not news. You do not come into this thread or the racism thread and spend much or anytime grieving for the victims. You somehow missed the entire Chavin verdict. You are here to explain why cops killing black people they don't have to as they show us with how they deal with white citizens, is justified.

And what if the taser hadn't worked in Columbus? Because I agree there's no need to shoot someone running away, but in that scenario the taser not working could have been very important if the other girl had actually gotten stabbed.

Then try tackling the child. The cop just stands there like his job isn't law enforcement, like it isn't job to assess quickly and act. The girl was right in front of him, and instead of pulling his taser, he reached for his gun. Then she moved across the way from him. What was he doing?

Comparison to what? This dude stabs the cop, yet the cop didn't seem to think his life was in danger.

That’s a long acronym.

A big question is how much should a cop put themselves in harms way. A bit issue with the diefication of law enforcement, especially post 9/11, many feel that they should not have to be in harms way. Which is insane to me.


A good example of how even the media can be complicit in cover ups.

He pulled his gun out to shoot the guy. He's not going to shoot him in the back unjustly. He switches to his taser because the criminal is running away and he has a good chance to hit him. If it misses, it's not such a big deal since the guy isn't actively trying to stab someone. Much different than the situation in Columbus.

@ the boldface text. Cops shoot some people in the back unjustly all the time. Or in the front, if they feel "their lives are in danger" even if the person is unarmed. But this armed person who actually STABBED THE COP somehow wasn't putting this cops life in danger apparently. That's the point that you are pretending to miss.

Yep. Being a cop is suppose to be a risky job. But people have bought into the myth that 0.0001% of risk is too much.

Everyone knows being a cop is a risky job.

Like the cop that shot Walter Scott, and is now in prison?

He stabs the cop, and then runs away. He doesn't continue to attack the cop, or begin to attack someone else. He takes off running into a open space. The video is meant to compare to what happened in Columbus but its a dishonest comparison.

Her tweet is misinformation. The student had a loaded gun in his pocket which went off, that's when the cop opened fire. She makes no mention of this even though it's right there in the article.

Did the police call it a "mass shooting" or did the media?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Talking about saving lives, my brother pointed out something to me that a lot of people don't consider. The cop put the woman in pink in more danger then anyone else did, with how he handled it. She was right in the firing line and he decided to unload 4. What if he hit her?

Thanks for making it clear the cop shouldn't have opened fire.

That isn't what happened. Only one of the cop's gun fired. A misfire that hit his colleuge, and then justified killing the kid. The article of the released info is pretty clear on that. A kid died because a cop shot another cop. The instances of cops shooting other cops, especially k9 units, is very interesting.

As for the mass shooting part, I imagine just a loose term, as mass shooting and school shooting are intricatly intwined in many minds. It was definitely reported as a school shooting.
