A teenage girl with a knife means you gotta have a gun out as a trained policeman ?

He didn’t arrive with his gun drawn, he drew it after the first girl hit the ground, thats on video, he approached the girl in pink asking what was going on so he was trying to assess the situation, from the time the 16 year old lunged at the first girl till she’s was about to stab the one in the pink, neither of which were threats when the officer arrived, it was literally like 5 seconds, what other method would have ensured that shorty in pink wasn’t left on the floor with multiple stab wounds? So yes, with pepper spray, a baton, a taser and a gun, the gun was the best chance the girl in pink had at not getting stabbed.

Cops don’t take age into account it’s either
Black Male or Female that’s all that matters and it’s sad it’s that way, but we know that cops ain’t coming to ask questions and be mediators.
If these were girls in they 20s would it be any better? Would his actions be more acceptable?

The choice of excessive force is just ridiculous. Like the Black military man in his truck with his hands out the window - get pepper sprayed?

ya can’t pin this up with all the other clear acts of police over reaction or brutality, regardless of how bad ya want to, this is not the same, this is honestly a cop doing his job, as bad as it sounds, girl in pink is breathing because of him....he neutralized the aggressor and potentially saved her Life....if I had someone lunging at me to stab me, this is the type of scenario where I would hope a cop is around to “protect” me....not sure why this is so hard to accept

This is one of the main problems with policing the lack of training on descaltion tactics and the whole shoot first and ask questions later. There's a protocol for how to do stuff, I've seen the handbook. A lot of these officers are just trigger happy no matter what.

Once again, NOT the same thing, that army lieutenant posed no threat to anyone, clearly the cops overstepped their boundaries and violated his rights, what right did this cop violate?

One thing for sure is yall gotta STOP WITH THE AIM FOR THE LEGS NONSENSE. Its one thing to debate whether he should have used his gun at all but we are NOT debating something so dumb as “well he shoudda aimed for the leg, arm, ankle, knee”.

Just a random question: seriously curious.
If you go out with your friends drinking, something happens where things escalate to fighting - are you staying to fight? Run for help?

He got out the car with his hand out asking what’s going on multiple times, somebody hits the ground and he yells for everybody to get down more than once he then sees a dangerous weapon getting ready to be used.

I think that’s the point a lot of dudes are missing, one thing is to “wield” a knife, another is to be actively engaged in the act of stabbing....one gives room for deescalation...there was no margin for error here....any hesitation on the cops part and the girl in pink would have been stabbed....wether ya like it or not, that’s the fact

You love saying some dumb. You love being on straight bum dumb ****. His went to a protest, antagonized a protest, shout the 3 people and killed 2, and then walked towards the cops w/ a big *** AR-15. I want you to shut the **** up. He walked up to the 12 car damn near had to force them to detain him b/c the other cops was right ****ing past him, so shut the **** up. Like I'm deadass just shut your ****ing mouth. You always on some **** ****. I can't stand yo ***. The protesters shouldn't have been protesting too huh? Man, shut the **** up.

This is what im saying, he grabbed his gun as the tool he would use for whatever happens, and it just happens he had to use that to diffuse the situation. If he had a taser in his hand whatever he probably woudve used that.
BUT, he did grab his gun though so thats what he was gonna use.

Can't tell when you're cosplaying, but there are multiple examples, including where the cops themselves were actively stabbed (vs inactively?). Still alive. Not saying that's the correct way, but stop with the "had no other choice".

I’m 38 years old bro, I don’t go out anymore and when I do, I hang out with other responsible mature adults not looking to engage in any drama, those years are far behind all of us, people have families now.
back in the day, clearly I would stay and fight/get beat with my boys, thinking back I’m grateful none of those situations went further south because they could have.
