If they were white nobody dies and the girl with the knife goes to jail

Dude you watch too many movies. Cops don’t do warning shots.

what?? LMAOOO

You don't think that a child would have stopped after being shot once?

it was retracted because they don't like who is citing it, not because the data is wrong

hot take

Yes that’s completely reasonable. But cops aren’t trained to shoot only once.

They do not know if their first or second shot is gonna miss. And if you’re trying to save someone’s life you don’t gamble with their life by only shooting once and hope it stops the person.

The author of this study u linked retracted his study because of people were using it in as evidence for arguments in the way ur doing right now even though that's not what the study suggests

ok so in dis hypothetical, because the stabber girl is white, the cop is absolutely able to subdue her with tools that are less likely to subdue her than a gun is, all within a 2 second time window? bc if not, the other girl's getting stabbed

Four shots against a little girl will always be excessive to me and I can't see it any other way.

Really gonna ignore the first article because it's simply bad faith. "Risk of getting killed" is basically an implication that they running around looking to shoot.

I know you didn't read the 2nd and 4th article because it's a research paper with breakdowns of where things happen, and what went on. So basically it could be discussing cops shooting black men who were abusing their wife and that's included. I'm simply speaking about people posing no threat.

Again, the third article is pretty much the same thing. Be honest. You just googled the title without reading right?

4 shots against someone who was trying to murder someone else

Age does not matter

You justified a cop shooting one time and then said everyone would have been ok with that. Please stop talking

I think age plays a large role when it comes to the use of that much excessive force, especially her physical size.

Okay...and here's another

And I can find more if you'd like.

Yeah. And I doubt she would’ve actually stabbed the other girl but to be fair there’s no way the officer would’ve known that

You really going to bat for this cop itt

Tell me what the author is saying and tell me what I'm saying.

"let black people stab each other to death"

if the girl got stabbed and died, this would have been a local news story on some page nobody reads. just another reminder how little people really care about black lives

B you talking about niggas can’t read and didn’t even read what I said right LMAOOOOOOOOOO

I don’t give a f*** about this cop. He could spend his life in prison for all I care.

But that doesn’t change the facts of this whole thing.
