You see the officer quickly draw his gun and then fire 4 shots at Ma'Khia, who immediately falls to the ground. You can see a man standing nearby yell at the cop in shock,"You didn't have to shoot her. She's just a kid, man."The shooting prompted protests near the scene of the incident, and in downtown Columbus. The officer's reportedly been taken off the streets while the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation investigates.
Ma'Khia was reportedly taken to Mount Carmel East Hospital where she was pronounced dead. Neighbors say she was living in a foster home on the block where she was shot.called it a tragic day and added,"We felt transparency in sharing this footage, as incomplete as it is at this time, was critical."
Who had knife and was about to shank another girl
I wonder what that fight was all about. I'm even sure it was a stupid fight...and now there's a funeral! RuPaulsDragRace Ripple RIP
First the fuck of all! The dude yelling claiming he shot a child was literally kicking a woman/child on the ground in her fucking head! Secondly that child had a knife in her hand trying to attack the chick in the pink! The officer told them to stop multiple times.
He saved that other girls life what if he didn’t do nothing? He’d be saving a killer letting an innocent one die I don’t understand people anymore
If someone was trying to stab MY child and wouldn't drop the knife...HELL YEA shoot them. I don't care their race. It was justified.
This is so bad
Never bring a knife to a gunfight!
Hold tf on yesterday they were talking about her mom this and that now she a foster kid so we'd goin on with her and in this argument which BLM more
The cop had to shoot to kill? A teen?
I’m really to start to hate Tmz
TMZ would you fucking stop ✋
There should be no protesting or burning down city’s someone should be thanking this cop
They are dammed if they do and dammed if they don't. If the cop let the girl proceed and kill the other girl, then the cop is under fire for letting a black girl get killed. We are doomed as a society.
Rest In Peace sweet child
Just going straight to the firearm smh. Is teasing people not a thing anymore?
She was trying to kill another girl!!
Can’t defend her 2 sec away from stabbing taser wasn’t doing nothing adrenaline pumping she was gonna stab her cop had no choice last min thinking
'who had knife during fight' This is why people hate the media and have lost all trust. The girl was literally trying to stab 2 people right in front of the cop. Stop trying to divide the country to get clicks. You should be using your influence to bring people together
That cop may have saved that other girls life shitty situation but this is not an example of a cop acting with too much force in my opinin
Here we go
What happened to the taser.🤔🤔🤔🤔
Pick your battles. Cop did the right thing here.
But her mother says “she’s straight As and a good student” but she shouldn’t been having a knife 🤷🏼♀️
It’s unbelievable that police can’t deescalate a violent situation without committing murder
Fix your title. “Cop saves black teens life from other black knife yielding teen”
Justified
Police justified shooting. Anyone that has a knife is a deadly force situation.
blame the parents
Taser!!!! Taser!!!! Where TF was his 🤬😤
Im sorry, in this case it's warranted. That girl was about to use lethal force. I'm sure the parents of the girl that was about to get stabbed possibly to death are happy she isn't dead.
taser taser taser
He did the right thing..
So he didn't have a taser he could have used
anyone defending this girl, she was about to stab and murdered another person..no matter the color your job is to protect that person at all costs..great job officers
This white cops take no prisoner. Shoot to kill .
Just want to thank the Lord for Salvation and deliverance
Violent behavior often ends badly. So far the officer’s actions appear to be completely justified.
This is absurd! What was he thinking? 😡
Justified!!
Where was the teaser?
All while many people watched in horror as she lunged at people with a knife. The headline should reflect an understanding of that fact. She was chasing people with a knife and actively trying to stab someone the moment she was shot
The cop who shot Daunte last week claimed to have confused a taser gun with a pistol so what’s this one gonna say
A teen who had a knife *and was actively trying to stab another human being in front of him* fixed it for you.
I have a better title, cop saves 2 girls by shooting a knife wielding assailant dead
Play adult games, get adult consequences, simple as that. No sympathy for her if she was trying to stab 2 ppl, cops saved the lives of the other 2 girls
gun, aim, and hope it works, the assailant could have stabbed the victim several times and any one of those times could have been fatal. Then what? Imagine the victims family...grieving knowing the cop could have taken measures to save their daughters life? Cmon y’all, get real
It’s comical how ordinary people can sit there and say he should have done this or that. Put yourself in that cop’s situation. You literally have a few seconds to act and potentially save another persons life. In the time the cop would have decided to reach for a tranquilizer
😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
Whoa!.. there's absolutely no justification! for this deadly shooting.. I can tell you that now!.. and I Don't!. need to see 1 video.🕊️❤️💎
Of course he shot her, she was trying to murder someone:
good!!!!
Great job for putting the threat down.
It sounds like this poor girl had a short, hard life. This is just awful. It feels like this shit is happening every goddamned day 😞
It's time to fight back!!
So the officer saved that other girls life?
I really hope people don’t compare her with George Floyd. They are not the same. Pinky was seconds away from getting slashed. I hate that someone had to die but that officer saved a life.
Justified.
I'm sorry about this whole situation, but I don't think there's any kind of case here. Someone is clearly trying to kill another person with a knife. Cops are called, and shots are fired. It's a bad situation. Not blaming cops for anything here.
The libs dreams about the day the police , let black people kill each other . Is crazy
Looks like dude saved someone.
ANOTHER ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO LIGHT ((WHICH NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT)). THE WAY PEOPLE REACT WHEN ADDRESSED BY POLICE OR WHEN PULLED OVER IN TRAFFIC CAUSING ESCALATION OF MINOR ISSUES.
No one cares if a white kid is shot by police, or an Asian or anyone else. Black kid gets shot and everyone loses their minds.
The Neanderthal can't even get a MF 2 put a knife down, with a gun 🤦🏾😵🙄
How’s this news? They did the right thing . Don’t try to stab folks and you’ll will not be shot . Seems clear as day
It’s sad but She should have dropped the knife.
This is when you use Taser Taser Taser... Not shoot to kill. Or just make the arrest the way they did (barely) with Kyle Rittenhouse who had an assault rifle & killed people. Clearly other methods could’ve been used as they have with whites in the past. Don’t me!
She was trying to harm another child with a knife. It is a horrible set of circumstances, but the police were trying to save the life of a child.
they had to stop her from stabing someone so i understand even useing a gun but couldnt they of tried to shoot her non fatally first if it didnt stop her and she did more then shoot to kill. i mean she had to be stopped from hurting others of corse but try non fatal way first.
Que the looting szn
Ohio, and my friends have just landed there to serve as docs-Save Josey campaign coming up.
The officer, in this instance, saved lives that day.
Another teen killed.smh the video tells it all. I wish things ended peacefully.
why didn't he use his taser?
She tried to attack someone with a knife so what did the officer do wrong? Should he just have let her stab the other person?
