And we have another police shooting.
It happened yesterday in Ohio, but they are already protesting here in Los Angeles (and in other cities)
A 16-year old girl attacked 2 women with a knife. The first one fell down on the ground and got her head kicked by a man (we don’t know what that was all about)
Then the girl with the knife attacked the second woman. The video shows her raising her hand, ready to make the deadly stab, when a police officer shot her dead.
The police officer is white, the girl with the knife is black.
The WH is looking at this incident as another example of police brutality against minority groups

and they come at record speed Gunter. Valerie Jarret of Obama fame and now chief commy aid to Biden immediately comes out and convicts the cops for what? Well interfering in a common knife fight she says. You see young blacks have knife fights all the time and should be left to their own devices says Jarrett the generous from her secluded high priced neighborhood with private security by the dozen. And what about the rest of us? Hell we will just have to live as best we can while the police are told to stand back and watch knife fights on our streets of mob rule

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Body camera footage from other officers released Wednesday in the fatal police shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant, a Black teenager who charged at two people with a knife, showed a chaotic scene that happened within minutes of the verdict in George Floyd’s killing and ignited outrage by many over the continued use of lethal force by police in Columbus and the U.S.
Officials with the Columbus Division of Police had released initial footage of the shooting Tuesday night just hours after it happened, which was a departure from protocol as the force faces immense scrutiny from the public following a series of recent high-profile police killings that have led to clashes.
Bryant was 16 and in foster care with Franklin County Children’s Services at the time of her death. Her grandmother, Debra Wilcox, described her as a shy and quiet girl, who liked making hair and dance videos on TikTok.
“The fact that I see what I saw on that video is not how I know my Ma’Khia,” Wilcox told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “I don’t know what happened there unless she was fearful for her life.”
The incident has caused an outcry in the community and nationwide as Bryant’s killing is the second high-profile fatal shooting of a teenager by police in the last month. Body camera footage released last week showed an officer shoot and kill 13-year-old Adam Toledo in Chicago.
“It’s a tragedy. There’s no other way to say it. It’s a 16-year-old. I’m a father,” Interim Columbus Police Chief Michael Woods told reporters Wednesday. “Her family is grieving. Regardless of the circumstances associated with this, a 16-year-old lost her life yesterday.”
He added, “I sure as hell wish it wouldn’t have happened.”
White House press secretary Jen Psaki called the Columbus shooting “tragic” and said President Joe Biden has been briefed on it.
“She was a child. We’re thinking of her friends and family and the communities that are hurting and grieving her loss,” Psaki said in a statement.
The 10-second body camera clip begins with the officer, identified Wednesday as Nicholas Reardon, getting out of his car at a house where police had been dispatched after someone had called 911 saying they were being physically threatened, Woods said. It remains unclear who called the police.
The officer, who was hired by the force in December 2019, is seen taking a few steps toward a group of people in the driveway when Bryant starts swinging a knife wildly at another girl or woman, who falls backward. The officer shouts several times to get down.
Bryant then charges at another girl or woman, who is pinned against a car.
From a few feet away, with people on either side of him, the officer fires four shots, and Bryant slumps to the ground. A black-handled blade similar to a kitchen knife or steak knife lies on the sidewalk next to her.
A man immediately yells at the officer, “You didn’t have to shoot her! She’s just a kid, man!”
The officer responds, “She had a knife. She just went at her.”
The race of the officer wasn’t clear and he was taken off patrolling the streets for the time being.
Bryant was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police said. Police did not say if anyone else was injured.
In the moments after the shooting, people living or visiting the street filmed as police roped off the area with yellow tape in front of the house where the shooting took place.
A neighbor’s video shows an officer performing CPR on the teenager while a man can be heard yelling, “You all just jumped out of the (expletive) car and shot her!”
metmike: Very odd, that society has evolved, so that we are seeing a tiny fraction of the thousands of incidents with violent crime, often armed criminals and everybody is only looking for 1 thing..........should the cop have shot or not?
Nobody is asking why all these people are committing, often violent crimes or what we should do about helping the cops (who are risking their lives) fight the escalating crime. It's all about seeing the cops as the guilty or not guilty party(when there is doubt-GUILTY by way of the MSM/social media jury) and the criminal...........AS THE VICTIM.
No accountability for the criminals.........none, nadda.
Just another victim of the bad cops story. Don't get me wrong, I think that there are many cases where cops shoot when they didn't need to but let's put it into perspective and realize, though criminals don't deserve a death penalty, when you commit violent crime and have a deadly weapon that you are threatening others with and when you are fighting the cops or refusing to comply, more often than not, you are NOT the victim.
The REAL lesson that would stop all of this in its tracks:
1. Stop committing (violent) crime. Teach this.
2. Comply with the cops. Teach this.
Doing just those 2 things, will decrease the chances of a black person getting killed by a cop by at least 100,000 times.
Instead, we are entirely focused on changing cops.
Yes, this is good and it would cut down the chances of a black person getting killed by? Maybe 2 times? This would be good of course.
So we are doing that ONLY, instead of doing the thing that is 50,000 times more powerful..............and ignoring all the black on black violence that is killing 1,000 times more blacks than cops are.... that cops are devoting and risking their lives to stop.

As I pointed out in my earlier post, the video in the link clearly shows the cop saved the pink woman's life. The cop shot the attacker, right at the moment when she raised the knife to stab the "pink" woman
But now they are all blaming the cop for killing another "child"
.IMHO, a 16-tear old, attacking someone with a knife, is, at that moment, not a "child", but a "clear and present danger"
All this is getting a bit tiring.......
All this is getting a bit tiring.......
Tell me about it Gunter )-:
We have one side with their fake climate crisis and cultural revolution that includes obliterating the cops and ignoring all the real crime and ignoring the real crisis at the southern border while on a mission to dismantle our political and economic model as they obtain more power to do that. Basing ones value and treatment on skin color.
The other side thinks that the election was stolen because Trump totally made up dozens of things to use and mislead them..........and got them all riled up to discredit the election results........while also thinking that Chauvin got a raw deal and unfair trial in spite of numerous times the evidence needed to convict him.
We have extreme groups on both sides, you know who they are.
Extremism and radical right/left groups are increasing in membership.
Our political leaders are leading the way. All they want is power and to push THEIR agenda with very little compromise unless they have to.
The left has control of the social and MSM, as they push leftism and censor out conservative views. They also have political control and control of the unelected bureaucrats in Washington. They have total control of the education system where they have effectively indoctrinated our young people into their ideology............which is why they are taking control.......likely for good.
It's worse today than it was a year ago, which was worse then, compared to years before that. In other words, its growing and with it being bad enough now that it's obliterating any hope for our country to unify, continuing to get worse means ominous things to come.
One side sees a racist around every corner, the other side has trouble recognizing the most blatant racism.
Biden is absolutely NOT going to be a unifier as he is passing a lot of far left policies that he told us he wouldn't do when running.
Adding DC as a state. Supreme court packing. Going after fracking. Lying about the crisis on the southern border. Going after cops, not crime.
He is being controlled by the far left and alienating more of the right than he is appealing to.
Yes Gunter.........this is tiring. Makes me want to just give up providing authentic truths and evidence/science here that contradict one side or the other very often. ....because it would be so much easier to just ignore it ........or tell people what they want to hear, instead of what they NEED to hear.
Yes. Now we can have outrage when police shoot someone who is about to stab someone.
Interesting times.
This is a copy of a post I just made at a far left wing biased forum and it refers to a photo someone else posted there earlier (that I can’t seem to post here from my phone for some unknown reason as it isn’t giving me the option to add an attachment):
“Look at this photo, people! The outrage in here about how the life of this female person of color in pink was protected from immediate high danger is silly imo. What’s even sillier is the attempt to attach racism to this when considering that the female in pink is also a POC. So, her life didn’t matter? What if she was your daughter or sister? You’re telling me you’d still be pissed at how the police handled this with someone about to stab her? If so, that’s either fake outrage, you’re blind, or you’re sick imo. It is as if there is an attempt in this thread to make the cops the bad guys on every case! By doing that it looks like fake outrage and hurts the cause of preventing true unnecessary police brutality. This isn’t even in the same galaxy as the George Floyd case. Chauvin is a cold blooded murdering bastard and deserves all that is coming to him.
Again, look at this photo! Why are some more concerned about the person just about to stab than the person about to be stabbed?”
By the way, the name of the thread I have been posting in at the aforementioned far left tilted forum is “All Cops are Bastards”. That should tell you something. Myself and two others with similar comments have already repeatedly been called racists and right wingers because of our posts in this thread. Is that insane or what?
I’ve been heavily criticized by both right wingers and left wingers depending on the forum bias, the true barometer of being a moderate. I love being a moderate and am damn proud of it.
Thanks Larry!
Hi Wx. Just want to acknowledge that I don't disagree with everytihng you post :-)
1. Tim, You see, a moderate can be reasonable once in a blue moon. <G>
2. All,
OK, I can now post that photo because I'm now on my laptop: As one can see, there is no time to wait to give the attacker a warning to drop her knife as she's literally right next to the intended victim, the girl in pink (who is also black..so how this can possibly be considered racially motivated is beyond reason imo):
I was reading that NBC had initially edited the 911 call, to make it sound like the attacker was unarmed. They since have apologized.
Here is a man whose security camera took pictures.. He said, the cop saved the pink woman's life (as we have already concluded on this forum)
And tonight the main administrator of that very liberaly biased BB refers to me as a bootlicker and says this:
"Salt that boot, mother----er."
He mad lmao. Just another typical day in the life of a moderate. We get it from both sides, but we're tough and can handle it. It just makes us stronger.
Thanks Larry!
There are fewer and fewer moderates left in the country.
Everybody is just flocking to sites that tell the news the way they like to hear it, with everybody else at that site, providing an echo chamber to reinforce it.
Being a moderate, sadly means that you will disagree with both sides enough, so that neither side considers you "one of them".............the enlightened that are always right about THEIR ideology and the other side is always WRONG.
It looks like we've reached the point of no return, with our political leaders pushing us deeper and deeper into the abyss with the intentional assistance of many national MSM outlets.
In other words.
What powerful force/leader or group will step forward to change this downward spiraling mentality?
I'll do my best here but as it turns out, the more peace and love and truth and useful information that I provide here, the less people come.
I've known this since I was a main anchor on tv for 11 years.
Could be that my days are numbered.

The Department of Justice has previously investigated Columbus police over use-of-force allegations. The latest fatal shooting has activists demanding a new investigation.
More protests are planned this weekend in the wake of the deadly shooting of a 16-year-old girl by police in Columbus, Ohio, another fatal police encounter roiling a city where allegations of police brutality and police shootings of Black children and men have bred public mistrust.
After the Biden administration announced this week it will open a civil rights investigation of the Minneapolis Police Department following the murder conviction against former police Officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd, some in Ohio's capital city are pleading for similar attention.
