“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.
