(54,770 posts)clearly wrong and the officer charged. If both girls had a knife, same if he had no way of knowing aggressor (and I doubt that is ever the case when both parties are armed).
In this case, the officer arrived, the girl that was killed runs toward the girl in pink with a knife and corners her, the officer yells put it down (or something like that) several times, she does not and goes into a stabbing motion. What do you think the officer should have done?
How about what they should do the next time something like that happens? I can see the officer saying, "Why should I rush to get there, best that will happen is I get second guessed, screamed at no matter what I do, perhaps charged, etc., for trying to save the unarmed person's life?
I'm sorry, I'm leaving this to Democratic Mayor, his police leaders, and the DA.
