An Ohio police officer shot and killed a teenage girl Tuesday as she attacked two other people with what appeared to be a knife in east Columbus, body camera footage released just hours after the fatal shooting shows. An Ohio police officer shot and killed a teenage girl Tuesday as she attacked two other people with what appeared to be a knife in east Columbus, body camera footage released just hours after the fatal shooting shows.

Police were called to the scene around 4:30 p.m. on a report of someone attempting to stab others at a home.

As soon as police pulled up, a young female can be seen tackling another female to the ground with what appeared to be a knife in her hand. The girl can then be seen charging at another nearby female while raising the apparent knife in the air, at which point the officer fired multiple shots, fatally wounding the attacker.

"She came at them with a knife," the officer can be heard saying as other officers tended to the girl on the ground.

.....

Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said that the whole situation is a tragedy.

"It’s a tragic day in the city of Columbus. It's a horrible, heartbreaking situation," Ginther said Tuesday night. "The city of Columbus lost a 15-year-old girl today. We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community. But a family is grieving tonight. And this young 15-year-old girl will never be coming home."

I can think of a few different comments he could have made instead. Like, "hey, your daughter was a dumbass thuggess. Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes. Better luck raising the next daughter right."

But that might cause a peaceful demonstration.

I hope the police wake up as to what’s happening and walk off the job, en masse. We can police ourselves out here.

Why are they immortalizing this would be murderer that was ready to kill with a knife? Shouldn’t they be glad there is one less criminal roaming around to kill?

Which is my whole bitch about all of this.

What happened in Minnesota should have been nothing more than a local story, that 99% of the country should have been unaware of. Maybe Chauvin is getting what he deserves, I don’t know, but that’s not that point.

The point is how the media and their DNC Masters pick and choose the National Stories to cover, along with the associated narrative, while ignoring other stories that much more greatly impact the entire country. But it’s all about “shiny objects” to get every Politician and two-bit has-been Celebrity to comment on and to manipulate the Sheeple.

“who appears to hold knife” This is the media at its best: casting doubt on obvious, undeniable truth.

“And this young 15-year-old girl will never be coming home” because she tried to kill another girl, and the cop saved the life of the other girl.

The headline should be: White cop saves life of black girl. Murder prevented by heroic action of officer xxxxx, who should get a promotion for his action. Attacker who tried to kill girl died at the scene.

The commentary should be: Our community is safer tonight, thanks to the heroic action of a White police officer who saved the life of a black child. We can all go to bed safely tonight because of the actions of this officer. It’s a tragic situation that one black girl tried to kill another black girl, and that some family members are blaming the cop.

Agree. Local news here has the footage. She was literally ready to stab with a fairly large knife. No time for that office to try and do anything else. He saved the other girl cleat as day.

Border Patrol isn’t allowed to police anything. On the other side of the Rio Grande, there are cartel gunmen in boats, manning .50 caliber belt fed monsters to use on the Border Patrol in case they do decide to protect US sovereignty, and stop the flow of “refugees,” drugs, sex slaves and disease. One fine night, somebody should train a night-vision scope on one or two of them, and do what comes naturally, since Border Patrol not only has its hands tied, but is outgunned. If what I suggest sounds like fun, don’t limit yourself to one or two. It’s no country for old men. Violence is bad. Never do it.

I wonder if they will interview the other girl that didn’t get stabbed, if she thought the police were out of line shooting the attacker, instead of trying to reason with her?

Her life doesn’t matter, because it wasn’t taken by a police officer. In fact, she isn’t even dead. So she should STFU and stop trying the change the subject./S

This is 24/7 news even though I live thousands of miles away.

Meanwhile - hear anything about this case?

cc05615987fdea5c

On Feb. 9, 2021 a Black broke in his White female neighbor's house, killed her, cut out her heart and cooked it. He then took it to his uncle's house next door and tried to make them eat it with him. He then attacked and killed his uncle and niece.

How about the case where the former black NFL player killed six Whites, including two little children?

Note to Law Enforcement:

Sorry guys. But here we are. When you show up to a scene like this, keep it contained. Let them kill themselves. Sort out the survivors when they are done. Defend only yourself.

You will no longer be allowed to do the right thing. You will not be labeled a hero for heroic deeds. No matter how right your action, the flying monkeys will seek to destroy you out of a sense of their insane cultural rage.

Again, from those of us who still respect legitimate laws and those who seek to Serve and Protect... I’m sorry. But this is where we are now.
