Ohio police fatally shoot teen girl just before Chauvin verdict: ‘This stuff just never ends’
from the article
Graham recalled hearing four gunshots just outside his southeast Columbus home. Outside, a woman who told him she was the girl’s grandmother was distraught, he said, repeating “they didn’t have to shoot her, they didn’t have to shoot her.”
One police officer on the scene was wearing a “blue lives matter” face mask, Graham said, which he considered an insensitive, unnecessary flourish.
“We know police lives matter, because you know why? When police are killed, the person is brought in and justice is served,” Graham said.

Is that the girl, armed with a knife, trying to stab another girl of color? If the cop hated people of color, all he had to do was
watch the stabbing, then arrest the murderer. One life lost, the other ruined. Instead, the officer saved one life and lost one.
That's a tough call to make under stress.
It's quite obvious that none of the armchair experts who enjoying spending hours, days, or weeks, analyzing why a cop did what he/she did in a split second under critical pressure, have never themselves been in a high pressure life or death situation.
neighbor's video comes out. showing cop was entirely justified. he had but mere split seconds to decide of victim gets stabbed or slashed or perp is stopped. victim was within inches of meeting the knife
Well he could waited till the girl sliced and diced the other two girls... then she could have come directly at him to do the same. Or maybe her Mother. BTW... don't take a knife to a gun fight.
My thoughts
the media loves this and it going to continue to stir this bs to get views
