Then thats a potential fault in the training system (in some cases tho it can be beneficial to fire more if they are armed or don't go down all at once)

I do not get it would u guys have rather the girl killed the other one and was arrested afterwards?

Ion know why ppl mad at envie he said if it’s his daughter then he’d want that to happen like I’m sure most of yall would too so it ain’t really nothin to talk about on dis fr rip to the girl

Yeah these people are insane, it kills me because they are playing into racists hands when they spin this

Based on the split second decision that the officer had to make, the warning to stop and the context of her mid lunge with a deadly weapon he did the right thing.

No it was not perfect, no Makiah did not deserve to die but the simple matter is he made the right call to stop her then to see what happened if she did stabbed the other girl. Its not even debateble

nobody is going to wait to see how bad someone is injured before intervening

and for the last time NOBODY CONDONES HIM SHOOTING FOUR TIMES

the cop is not going to weigh the pros and cons of knife injuries and gunshot injuries when someone is milliseconds away from being cut

You thought this was funny huh? We just want the police to handle situations without gunning people down you lame ass nigga.

yea. still don't think the officer is fully at fault. he made a quick decision which ended up not being the best one

f*** man. still don't know what happened. But if Makhia was being bullied by those other girls to the point where that was her only defense and a cop just comes and kills her. Like this s*** is wild

yeah I want them to handle most situations without gunning people down but I want them to still shoot violent people when they are posing immediate and serious threat to others and there is no better option which in this case there really wasnt

im not a cop.

also if I were with a woman and another woman were going to stab her I wouldn’t shoot anyone. but hey, that’s just me.

How does the cop know that tho

He comes to a scene and sees a violent girl holding a knife he doesnt know the nuance

He really dropped a family guy cutaway and thought that was it

How is it unlikely she would’ve died? All it takes is getting stabbed in the neck or any important part of your body

If nobody intervened before it got this far then nobody was gonna intervene to begin with

How do you know the girl would’ve fought back and not folded after being stabbed? You talking a lot of if scenarios that also seem highly unlikely

In the end the dude had seconds to react, and his initial reaction was to grab his gun and save the other girls life. Was that the right decision?

Probably not. Shouldn’t have shot her 4 times but that’s how they are trained.

Was the cop trying to manhunt… absolutely not, don’t turn this into something it isn’t.

Mainstream media conditioned these niggas that's why. They brought back tribalism so the only thing that matters to these people is that a black girl was killed by a white man, nevermind the black girl was an unhinged potential murderer. IDGAF if the same thing happened to a white girl I would be saying the same s***. Same niggas in the topic defending this girl would be s***ting on a white girl for getting shot. I’m s***ting on both.

I mean we don’t know what exactly happened before the cop got there but nobody was even fighting when he arrived. It was calm

And then Makhia goes nuts out of nowhere

it's just a steak knife.

"The cop did the right thing. You people are tripping" - Lord187

I get this take. But every situation is different. From the officers to the assualter being armed when they are by the cops

You are right, multiple things can be true...current police tactics and training could use some form of reform but I don't think there is enough here to say that this police officer did anything overly terrible, its a f***ing trash situation that everyone was put in.

There is nothing here to indicates this cop was being racist or overly aggressive(based on current police training which i said could use adjustment).

I mean everyone there is going to have to deal with some terrible trauma, do you really think that dude wanted to kill a girl that day?

I just find that hilarious man lmao

pros and cons?

it’s a simple calculation. knife less dangerous than gun. doesn’t take a genius.

nigga said it so casually

that's what i'm saying. s***s f***ed up

only a flesh wound! he was using a steak knife!
