How is there ideas of white people chasing cops with knives and machetes and none were shot. And why shoot her 4 times. That’s over kill. And he fired in a crowd not worried about bullets flying and hitting others. This was over kill. Taser would have saved a life.

Just a really shitty headline. Do better. Media outlets these days are nothing but garbage.

Good. The Police saved a couple of kids lives today. 👍

15 year olds are not toddlers. They should've been home reading a book. If that was a knife, at 15 she could've murdered someone else's child. If your BLACK life matters, LIVE like it!

Also developing ...officer that arrived on scene saved a gals life in the process. Your headlines suck!! All about the $

So this girl attacks two other people, trying to stab them with a knife and she gets shot, now the protests start against the police, so are we just supposed to let them go crazy and kill people, that would be ok I guess, not! This is bull shit.

Yeah stabbing someone.

The little girl was in the process of trying to stab someone. Fuck your bull shit story. Smh

A more responsible headline would be “Officer saves the life of a 16 year old by shooting someone attempting to murder her”

Estados Unidos necesita una reforma policial URGENTE!!! Antes que las demandas quiebren la nación!!!

None of this is right! I pray for everybody. The murderers, and the victims. What has gone wrong in life.

Way to go police!!!! Another violent criminal off the streets permanently!

Killer cops exist

😮

A dog on the street wouldn't be trying to stab someone else

Is the Columbus Police equipped with tasers? 🤔

Attempting to stab two people? Knives are deadly.

I'm not a police officer and I had no trouble stopping a foreign drunken man from RUNNING FULL SPEED to a Daquiri shop where he too, intended to stab someone. I didn't have to use excessive force, I deescalated the situation, removed the weapon from him, and sent him home. 😐

If your honest with yourself, do you think these killings are going to stop. Sadly, I think it's going to get worst. Officers have Big Ego's I see them testing this system again.

Keep spreading your racist narrative! The headline should read 'Officer saves girl from knife wielding attacker'. Race had NOTHING to do with kt and has no business being in the headline at all! Very poor journalism as usual.

Now you believe that we should bring God back into schools?

“Good kid” really!? 🖕🖕🖕🖕 Good kids don’t try and kill other kids. The police saved a life by eliminating a murderer. Deal with it. You think cops want to be put in these situation nowadays!? These pieces of shit cause it. Nobody wants fucking accountability anymore

Cops quit now! You can't even protect black people from other black people! Quit now, they don't deserve you!

...and it keeps going on

Unless USA,UN&Else Implement Creator=AllahHolyWord'sExodus 21:12-17&23-25DeathPenaltyLaws same wtMatthew5:13Mercy Death,spoken bySon ofMan on dMouth of MuslimJewJesus dCarpenter&dRomanHumanGod, Then DevilHeinousActs ofSinners= PartnersOfLeftistAngelGod=Allah Satan won'tEnd.John1

Stand your ground didn't apply to her. Fucking hell

Idk the situational background, and I'm in no rush to defend the girl who got shot (as unfortunate as it is), but her only defense is if the events prior to recording equated to her acting in self defense. It's hard to at all call that the case, but thats the only alternate view.

They saved a young black teen that was being attacked with a knife. Why leave that part out of the tweet?

White supremacy is a hell of a drug. 🤬👮‍♂️

WTF America

Bait! Be real. Girl attacking girl with a giant kitchen knife was shot and killed by police. Do better ABC! You are the problem.

Transcripts reveal 15 jurors in the Daniel Prude case voted against charging copsThe grand jury in the case of 41-year-old Daniel Prude, a Black man who died in March 2020 while in police custody, voted overwhelmingly in favor of not charging the three officers involved. The New York Times reported that fifteen jurors voted against indicting the officers of the Rochester Police Department with criminally negligent homicide while five voted in favor. In a rare move, New York Attorney General Letitia James released transcripts of the grand jury proceedings on Friday, the first time in the history of the state that the details of a police-involved death case have been revealed publicly. Not good. Hopefully it’ll be different with Chauvin. The family called the cops because they couldn't handle the guy. Cops should not be subjected to people spitting at them .
