Columbus, OH police officer fatally shoots 15 year old Black girl

[ingemann]

Glad to see everyone here is trying to live in their own little self deluded corner ignoring that yes, race was a determinant in the cops actions here. You don't see white active shooters or armed suspects after violent incidents being taken out, yet their first instinct is shoot to kill if the suspect is black--as tends to be their response, armed or not.

That’s... not true?

    This is 7 times in the month of April alone a white person has been shot dead by police in the United States. Do you get your information from Twitter?

Notice these all appear to involve the suspect directly threatening officers themselves.

So... cops should stand idly by if people are threatening to kill others, and not the officer themself?

At that point, they are literally useless.

As a former Security office you wound the person, not aim to kill unless they use lethal force, she had a knife not a gun, he should of shot her in the leg to wound, he didn't have to kill her

Cops have bullet proof vest on anyways just like Chauvan, cops are protected

To be brutal the cop could have saved himself a lot of trouble by not shooting her. Yes the other girl would have died, but he could likely have arrested the Ma'Khia afterward with limited trouble, these kind of rages tend to burn out. So if he had waited a few seconds, the girl in pink would have died, Ma'Khia would be waiting to come before a court and end up in prison. The cops would continue his life like nothing happened and none of us would have heard about this case.

Instead he saved the life of the girl in pink and have to deal with the consequences. I don't really think that it's the smartest lesson to teach cops, at least not if you think Black lives matter.

My point is this IS what they do if the suspect is white and that there is no consistency in how they handle situations, other than they handle them differently with black suspects compared to whites.

And again, this would be far less of an issue if non-lethal rounds were required for street police--save the live rounds for SWAT and bomb squad raids.

So you think a cop would have let a White girl be murdered by a knife wielding maniac and because they saved a Black girl from being murdered by a knife wielding maniac, they're racist against Black people?
