right, no disagreement here, but here's the difference: chauvin slowly and deliberately murdered someone who was already cuffed and subdued. This distinction absolutely matters to normies

Yeah the average idiot is totally going to buy "HE HAD A SPLIT-SECOND CHOICE TO MAKE" as an excuse, the point is that you shouldn't act like that's a reasonable excuse or treat one killing as any different from another, because by doing so you feed that narrative

the 911 call came in at 4:32 and the cops weren’t there until 4:44. assuming the call was about Ma’Khia trying to stab someone, we have to believe that unarmed people avoided murderous knife attacks for 10 minutes until the cops came and it became suddenly life or death in 10 seconds?

I mean, gently caress, even if she said out loud “I fully intend to murder someone,” still no excuse to gun down a 16yr old girl.

no confirmed info on who made the initial call yet right?

if you follow the current jurisprudence and the way laws are written, the killing of Ma'Khia Bryant was justified.

but that's the point. the laws are trash. pure garbage. designed to dehumanize victims and lionize the hero cops whose brave resolve in the face of crisis lead to merely one dead teenager.

society shouldn't be like this. a situation like this needed to be deescalated, not have some trigger happy lunatic roll up with his hand on his gat and blow away the perp(s) until order is restored.

a girl is dead. the state killed her. abolish the police, abolish the state. we can make a new one.

agreed with the first part but who’s saying knives aren’t dangerous? the issue is that the cop (as encouraged by the broken system) felt his only recourse was to run in guns blazing. when all you have is a hammer...

No one is loving arguing you can't kill somebody with a knife, they're arguing that a cop saw a black girl with a knife fighting other kids and instead of trying to break up the fight in any way at all whatsoever he just went "lol free kill ez game ez life"

apparently the people who were harassing Ma'Khia Bryant weren't teenagers but grown-assed adults. i'm trying to find some confirmation.

i used to be morally perplexed on why i didn't feel pity for the woman Ma'Khia was pushing away, but if it turns out to be true it'll be a seething, burning contempt -- she was there because she wanted to see a girl getting hurt and boy howdy did she ever loving get what she wanted.

l think we’re still not sure about that. what really is confusing me though is that apparently the 2 other girls were formerly also fostered by Bryant’s foster parents, which makes me wonder why the person who appeared to be Bryant’s foster dad tried to soccer kick the girl on the ground.

if you're posting about how the cop should have judo thrown the child instead of shooting her you've missed the point that the tragedy is the failure of society every step of the way that led her to the place where she's swinging a knife at people. once you're in this situation there's no good answer to it. all police killings are murder because of the role they fulfill for capital in society. debating the lethality of knives is dumb as hell (they're lethal as gently caress) and probably not the base to be having the discussion about what to do about cops in america.

playing armchair tactician about how this was an "unjustified" shooting is missing the forest for the trees.

Three grown men can easily pull a 15 year old girl off someone else, and doing so would be significantly less likely to cause serious injury than the nearly-guaranteed fatality involved in shooting said 15 year old girl four times in the chest while she is inches away from the person you're supposedly protecting by killing her

yeah but the D&D lib line isn't "Ma'Khia was murdered because cops are trained almost exclusively to kill, and specifically black people at that" but instead "it was literally impossible for anything to happen except for either the other girl getting instantly stabbed to death our beloved hero cop pumping four rounds into a child with a steak knife"

i think because the first line is true, so is the second line. the point i'm trying to make is that debating the tactical realities of stopping an attempted stabbing in progress is much less important than everything that came before it. if we're just talking about how the police overreacted here we just get police trained in knife grappling, which solves nothing.

i probably haven't been clear, but the police literally do not have the tools/mentality to do anything but brutalize and murder people. the posters arguing the cop had some other option than just firing wildly into a fight are incorrect. the cop did exactly what he was trained to do and by some miracle didn't kill three other bystanders in the process. the fact that this isn't even excessive when we're talking about police use of force is what makes this a bad debate to have on any situational level beyond a principled "the police are a murderous occupying force and should be disarmed and abolished and then tried at the hague"

lol this is exactly like the "legitimate rape" thing from awhile back

the cop murdered that teenaged girl because i don't believe she was an imminent life/death threat to the person she was brandishing a knife at, and even if she was going to take a stab, i would expect any peace officer tasked with protecting and serving to dive between them and possibly take a steak knife to the shoulder in the service of not killing ANY citizens. if you think him seeing a potential knife stab at someone justifies him to pull his gun and shoot-to-kill the teenaged girl you're arguing for the status quo, and you shouldn't be concerned with the "optics" of being against the status quo ever lmfao, the status quo of america is demonic misery
