Conservatives: The cops had to shoot Ma'Khia Bryant because she had a knife.

[Ms. Toad]

64. I am not arguing, at all, that white people aren't treated better by the cops

(and pretty much the rest of the world).

But even a broken clock is right once or twice a day.

All I am saying is that - once the police officer arrived in the middle of that knife fight, he was forced to choose between allowing Ma'Khai to stab the girl in pink - or using lethal (or less lethal) force to stop her. Although I wish he would have drawn his taser, rather than his gun, both would have been lawful uses of lethal force in defense of self or other.

The solution isn't to say that Ritenhouse should have been killed (or would have, had his skin been a different color). We need to fix the broken clock, not insist it isn't 12:02 merely becsause this is one of those times that the snapshot of the clock happened to be correct at that precise second.
