Police have released bodycam footage of the fatal shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant, but social media users want her to be remembered for her other videos – the ones she posted on TikTok.
The 16-year-old, who was shot dead by police in Columbus, Ohio, was an avid user of the Chinese social media app popular with teens, where she posted a number of hair tutorials. In the 24 hours after her death, those videos were viewed hundreds of thousands of times.
“This is how we want to remember #MakhiaBryant. Joyful. Beautiful. Adorable,” the Instagram account Until Freedom wrote above a video of Ma’Khia doing her hair and posing for the camera. The clip has been viewed more than 126,000 times.
Another video, posted on Twitter, shows Ma’Khia dancing and smiling with colorful butterfly clips in her hair.
“Look at the art. Look at this black girl magic. Look at her joy!” a Twitter user wrote above the video. “Look at that smile and that face. What a beauty. What a baby. Ma’Khia Bryant was just 16 years old.”
...
“Watched a few of Ma’Khia Bryant’s TikTok videos,” one Twitter user wrote. “She was a child full of life and possibility. She was murdered by the police and it is devastating.”
“#makhiabryant deserved to be alive and happy with her family,” read the caption to another Twitter video.

[ Look at her joy!” a Twitter user wrote ]
Apparently a lot of joy trying to stab that other girl, huh.
I can’t find my barf bag.
Desperately trying to spin this murderous animal as an angelic child. Girl in pink should be eternally grateful to the cop who saved her life.
Does this mean the knives I [theoretically] carry are perfectly okay, now?
Because of what the cop did, the other girl IS happy with hers. Maybe the scum bags of the world, would have preferred the cop didn’t show up at all. The cop is probably thinking that too.
Despicable pin on a murderer, it figures where its coming from
Still, I wonder if anyone checked out that itty bitty dog caught in the middle of this.
It got kicked around pretty bad.
She probably is, but do you expect any POS Democrat media people to ever ask her about it?
Seems like if you ban guns people could still get steak knives. How weird is that?
She had what appears to be a small steak knife.
Supposedly the knife wielding dead one was a straight "A" student.
If this is true, in most schools full of Blacks, she would have been horribly bullied for "acting white".
If this was the case, I wonder if she had just "had enough"?
No guns!
We’re safe!
Yippee!!!
Kitchen knives, ice picks, screw drivers, sharpening steels filed to a point, antlers, letter openers.
I could go on and on...
What about the “braided” white chick getting knocked down, curb stomped and kicked in the head?
Funny nobody cares about her.
Pretty sure the 11” sharpened spike antler on my belt loop is why nobody bothers me in dark parking lots.
/an eye socket bone is very thin
Somewhere today I saw an article talking about her.
She is super happy not to have had her throat cut.
She was a child full of life and possibility.
Yeah with the possibility to stab people to death...
Notice you will never hear from the family of the girl in pink that their daughter is still alive because of a cop, in fact you probably would hear that the girl who got shot was known to be violent...
I wouldn’t have thought that social media was capable of brainwashing people to the point where there is nothing a black person can do that justifies being killed by a white cop. But here we are. Astonishing.
