Columbus Police release bodycam footage of officer shooting, MA’KHIA BRYANT, 16

MA'KHIA BRYANT called the police and she was killed. She took the knife outside for protection.

This killing of a 16-year girl who called the police for help and she was killed, she had a knife but did the police need to shoot her? This is the day of the Chauvin trial and now it is really clear what I said is clear that there will be clean kills. But they said she dropped the knife before he shoots, police need tranquilizer darts or something. This was what I was talking about police killing 16-year-old girls.  In Europe, they are trained to deal with knife attacks why you got to empty the gun into the child if you shot them not to kill you will do better, will you walk up to a 16-year-old white girl shoot her full of bullets, no you would beg and plead for her to drop the knife. Girls came to jump her and she dies what is stand your ground? Why didn’t she have a choice to stand her ground?Ohio is the 36th state to pass “stand your ground” legislation. … As Buckeye Firearms Association explains, the new law broadens Ohio’s “castle doctrine,” which removed the duty to retreat in your home and car, but not in other locations.Jan 14, 2021. 

Please stop spinning the stories she called the police for help and she died this is why black people don’t want to call the police.

A 15-year-old girl was fatally shot Tuesday by police in Columbus, Ohio. Police released some body camera footage of the shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant on Tuesday night and released additional footage and two 911 calls in a press conference on Wednesday, citing “the public’s need, desire, and expectation to have transparency.”

Interim police chief Michael Woods said Wednesday that dispatchers first received a call for help at 4:32 p.m. On the call, a woman told officers that people were trying to fight and stab her and others, according to an audio recording played during the press conference. A second 911 caller also asked police to respond to the scene, but the call ended quickly after the person realized police had just arrived.

Officers arrived on the scene at 4:44 p.m., Woods said. A slowed-down version of body camera footage appears to show Bryant attacking two other people, lunging at one with something in her hand, just after an officer arrived. The officer, identified by Woods as Nicholas Reardon, fired his weapon several times while Bryant and another girl were struggling against the side of a parked car. A knife could be seen next to Bryant’s body after the shooting.

It was unclear what led to the altercation, which was already in progress when the officers arrived.

Bryant’s family told CBS Columbus affiliate WBNS-TV that Bryant was the one who called the police for help, saying people were fighting outside her house. Woods declined to comment on who called 911.
