Jus...tice? Is this...is this what actual justice feels like?
I hope, I hope, I HOPE this sets a precedence.

Well, this time it'll be the cops rioting . . . err protesting but with tactical gear, lots of firearms and maybe some armored water canons and sonic devices.
Everytime I want to say I love Columbus for the modern city it's becoming, shit like this happens. Let's see if the police oversight committee actually does anything.
Body cam footage has been released.
Police release body cam footage in fatal shooting of teenage girl in Ohio
The victim has been identified as 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant.

I watched the whole video, from the cop appearing to her getting shot. As the police officer comes up a woman starts walking toward him from a crowd of people. As she is passing a woman in pink standing by a car, a man behind her rushes up and pushes her onto the ground. As the woman attempts to get up, the guy attempts to kick her in the head. While this is happening, the woman in pink, who seemed to move forward to the confrontation, is pushed back into the car by the victim, who is holding a knife and "drawing it back". The cop, who had his firearm out by this point, opens fire as it looks like she is about to stab the woman in pink.
My guess is the woman pushed is related to the victim, when the man attacked the woman, the girl in pink came up, which the victim saw as them about to gang up on the woman, leading her to try to intervene. The rest is history.
Regardless of what the intention in her mind was with pushing that woman into the car, the scene really did look like she was winding up to stab that girl. I can completely understand why this officer made the call, and this is why it's so important to have body cam footage. Police hate body cameras because it often proves their negligence, but it can also prove the opposite. It's still a tragedy though.

This is a good question. Gun was likely for deterrence originally. The cop literally had a dude assault a woman right in front of him, and while he could attempt to taser the dude, he then would have to worry about A) the girl holding the knife nearby, and B) the large crowd of what I can guess are the dudes friends up the driveway. I feel he went for the gun because he wanted to spook the dude without leaving himself exposed. At that point the victim came in with the knife and seemed like she was about ready to stab the girl in pink, and by that point you either make the call or possibly let the girl in pink get her gut punctured.

I added a little addition to my last post about the taser. Realize that the full event lasts about 12 seconds, from the moment the cop gets out of his car to the moment he fires. He barely had a chance to process what was happening before a dude was kicking in a woman's head and the victim was rushing another woman and her dog with a knife. It also seems like he was alone at this point walking into a crowd of 7-8 people, some of which seemed very open to getting violent on each other. While I don't like the call he made, I can't fault him for it, because this situation is way different then a dude trying to sell smokes or a kid playing alone in a park. There was a clear and present chance another woman was about to get killed.
Also for those that ain't squeamish, the whole video can be found here. Warning, graphic content.
Which is why police should really change to default to non-lethal methods instead of pull gun and ask questions later.
This is definitely different than other police shootings, but I think we really need to look at police methods in general.
It would definitely be viewed more in the officer's (s'?) favor if, overall, this sort of thing were to happen less frequently.

Guns are not deterrents. Guns are only to be drawn if you intend to use them.
That's just what I was taught anyhow.
It never failed to gall me when my son went to scout camp and they had to do gun safety training. All of these amazing common sense rules to keep people safe, originally brought to you by the same terrorist organization that has almost exclusively encourage gun violence for the last what? 20 years? 30? Talk about a dark turn.
Make sense of this.

I assume they're doing this under the assumption that the Left is significantly less likely to voluntarily choose to run over protestors.
