In Columbus, a cop shot a 15-year-old girl 10 SECONDS after he arrived on the scene

236. Bullshit response

They both had lives to think about. Unfortunately, the cop didn't think about both of them. He just started shooting. And he put them both in danger.

I have no doubt that if the other girl had ended up catching any of the bullets, most of the people carrying on here about how he saved her life and if it weren't for him, the "maniac" with the knife would have killed her, would be insisting that her death was justified, too because she shouldn't have been fighting with the girl with the knife. And we'd be hearing all about how SHE started the altercation, what a little thug she was, why was she fighting, why didn't she just walk away, etc.

She's just being used as an excuse at this point for many of these people.

Just look at the cops at the scene taunting the Black onlookers with a chant of "Blue Lives Matter." There is no indication that the shooter cop was in any danger at all, so what's with the "Blue Lives Matter" chant? That is a racist dog whistle and in this instance it strongly indicates that this cop was part of a culture that does not value Black Lives at all.
