I don't think people appreciate how *fast* police incidents, like shootings, go.

So let's have a watch.

Second 0:27: the cop has no gun in the first half. He's drawing it in the second half of second 0:27. He gets his grip at the start of second 0:28. Ma'kiyah is charging.

Second 0:28. The officer has his gun out and is yelling "Get down! Get down!" as Ma'kiyah Bryant charges her would-be victim with a knife, covering at least 10 ft in her charge.

Second 0:29: Ma'kiyah Bryant attempts to stab her victim with the large knife she is carrying, into the very start of second 0:30.

Second 0:30 is where the officer shoots. Remember he drew his gun at 0:27, had it out be 0:28, and Ma'kiyah is attempting to plunge her knife into the girl in the pink at 0:29 and 0:30. No question the cop saved the pink girl's life.

Here's 0:31: Because she's shot, Ma'kiyah fails to plunge her knife into her victim. Her victim escapes to the right and Ma'kiyah falls to the left (from being shot).

TOTAL ELAPSED TIME: FOUR SECONDS

I was going to link you the bodycam video. After all, the cops showed it and the local news ran it, but your Masters at YouTube don't want you to see it.

This happened literally while I was taking this screenshots.

This one is still working (for now), although the timestamp is different than the YouTube one, but you can still see how fast everything unfolds: the-sun.com/news/2743361/b…

My advice? Watch it while you can, before it gets Memory-Holed and the Leftist media starts doubling down on the “she was unarmed” or “the knife was already on the ground” or “she wasn’t doing anything wrong” narrative, whichever one they settle on.

NO QUESTION the officer was JUSTIFIED to shoot. The most commonly recognized justifications for attacking someone with a deadly weapon is SELF-DEFENSE or OTHER-DEFENSE.

I’m sorry the girl was attempting to murder another girl, but it is JUSTIFIED to shoot someone to STOP THAT.

If the officer was wrong to shoot Ma’kiyah Bryant, that is saying the right thing to do would have been to allow her to stab the (also black) young girl in the pink track suit.

I’m reliably informed black lives matter, so I don’t think letting a young girl be stabbed is right.
