Is that the one who was pointing the toy gun at people and then pulled it out of his waistband when the cop showed up?
Or it may have been the one where two cops saw a kid sleeping alone in a park with his head on a picnic table ten minutes after getting a call and had no way of knowing whether the sleeping kid was even a suspect, so they drove off the street with into the park and to within a few feet of the kid, and then shot him when he stood up and before their car even came to a complete stop.

All a matter of perspective, I suppose.

The only places that deserve police officers are conservative and rural areas.

frick the big cities. Nobody in their right mind would sign up to be a cop in any large American city.

Find a new line of work guys. The establishment hates you and they're coming after you.

Okay, so you’re not talking about Tamir Rice. Just making sure.

Okay, so a (highly) questionable source.

I read that she was in a fight and went after the person with the knife.
Sounds like the most likely scenario.

He should have just let her carve up the other person, then when the crowd starts screaming, “Why didn’t you stop her?” Say, “I can’t shoot a black person, I’m not going to jail over this shite.”

Yep no duty to arrest in Georgia. I wouldn’t take an enforcement action against nary a one of them.

If I misunderstood, I apologize.

You are probably correct, but one's memory drifts to Tamir Rice.


Mine doesn’t. That one instance 6 years ago in another location with completely different actors is entirely irrelevant to this shooting.

I was just relaying info from the cesspool Twitter over here.
Multiple people are saying one cop said that.
No opinion on it, just stating what the rumor-mill is spitting out.

So, based upon the limited information set forth in the OP, it seems that the decedent was using a knife to defend herself from some sort of assault or attack, during which she called the police, then the officer arrived and thought that she (the caller) was an aggressor?

Let's say that she DID get assaulted and that she DID call the authorities. The police cruiser arrives, and she runs toward them, thinking she is safe (but still brandishing the knife). The officer misinterprets and shoots her as she runs toward him. Plausible.

Looking forward to the bodycam files on this one.


If thats the case no charges. Kinda like friendly fire in the military. Sad situation and as you said, cam footage will mean all.

There's ways to subdue people with knives, especially teenage girls.


Over a thousand people are killed every year by knife attacks. A knife is a lethal weapon. Somebody pulls a knife on you, they have already decided they want the confrontation to end with you dead. At that point fire away. I don't know if this shooting was justified but saying cops should have to try and subdue a person with a knife is truly one of the dumbest things I have ever read.

No. It’s the one who was pointing a BB gun at people and a caller told police dispatch that it was probably a BB gun and then police rolled up and shot the kid in under 2 seconds. No gun was pulled. And the policeman that shot the kid had washed out of another jurisdiction’s training.
