After watching the videos and hearing bits and pieces of the unfolding story, I am beginning to believe there is far more to the story prior to the fight.
1. The girl was in foster care. Many foster care homes have multiple children in their care, many of which come from very trauma filled lives prior to going into foster care. Foster homes are sometimes worse than the homes the kids came from.
2. The girl in black may have been the victim of bullying and abuse from other kids in the foster home, the neighborhood and school. She was already involved in a fight with multiple people when the police arrived. Maybe she was defending herself from her tormentors. Maybe this was a daily occurrence for her.
3. Perhaps she just finally snapped after suffering from so much abuse and torment. After all, she was rather large and a prime target from her peers for abuse.
None of us know yet what transpired but I believe the officer did the right thing, but I will wait for all the facts before coming to a conclusion. Maybe the girl was nuts or maybe she just had enough of the bullying.
We just had a birthday party for a 12 year old girl go toxic in a (formerly) ‘nice’ neighborhood.
9 youth were shot. None fatally (at least so far.). Initially count was six shot.
Supposed to be an argument between two young ‘men’. One pulled a gun and started shooting. The other pulled his gun and shot back. Apparently their aim sucked.
I supposed that is better than the previous incident.
An illegal immigrant went into the bedroom with his girlfriend. He game out His sister was visiting. And there were two teenage children from each side. Reportedly he can put with a devil mask and a machete.
He started stabbing.
Two were killed and two severely wounded (but saved by deputies).
He chased one of the young girls down the street and hacked her to death.
A neighbor opened their door, and he tried to force his way in but was denied.
Scary times we live in.
Yeah, maybe she’s the victim, idjit thinking
It doesn't really matter what happened prior to the cop showing up. In an argument, good guy or bad guy, it really don't matter. If a cop sees one of them attempting to stab the other, they're going to get shot.
Having a difficult life does not justify trying to stab someone.
I had a very difficult life and I never tried to kill anyone. Plenty of people have hellish lives and don’t try to kill or stab people.
