Don Lemon and Cuomo said the same thing with the 13 year old boy with a gun. Justified shootings. NBC news have been misleading their audience for a while. CNN does not go to far left like NBC and far right like Fox News. Now, I bet Don Lemon would be called Uncle Tom for not siding with the BLM people.

I can tell you one thing from these videos...
Aint one person in the whole deal that was listening to the cop telling them to knock it off. As far as anyone that was around there was concerned, the cop may as well not even have been there.

What i find interesting is that in this video, when the cop sees the weapon, he immediately shoots three times.
But in the video of the 13 year old. When he thinks the kid is going to shoot him, he only shoots once.

got numbers to show it is trending up?

Dude city after city is reporting increases in crime over the last 12 months.... And not just by a couple. Most are reporting triple digit percentage increases.
good deal. have any data I can check out on the topic?
Quote:The violence is cause for concern as the numbers continue to trend upward.
On Tuesday, the Memphis Police Department confirmed to WREG they have handled 63 murders so far this year, compared to 46 murders this time in 2020. Four of those victims were under the age of 18, police said.
Quote:Some on the left immediately jumped on the story about the police shooting of a 16 year old Ma’Khia Bryant in Columbus, Ohio, attacking the police, despite the facts in the case.
Bodycam video showed clearly that the police officer fired at Bryant just as she lunged at another girl to stab her with a knife. His quick action saved the life of the other girl.
But some were so interested in pushing division over police shootings, they didn’t let the facts deter them, but were all in attacking the police.
It’s a “white thing?” What does that even mean? What if the girl in the pink had been your daughter, sir? She might be dead in what you try to dismiss as a schoolyard fight.
Then there was BLM activist Bree Newsome who argued this is just a thing that teens do, that teens have been having fights including fights with knives “for eons.”
“Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons. We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene & using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y’all need help. I mean that sincerely,” Newsome tweeted. She continued, “Everyone should be frightened that the ruling white elite have done such a thoroughly successful job of not only disconnecting us from the means of basic self-sufficiency but also convincing us we need armed white officers to manage our children & communities.”
So it’s white supremacy that the cop didn’t stand there and let the girl in the pink be stabbed to death?
Then there’s this ridiculous reporter who knows nothing about shooting or such cases, “Why didn’t you shoot her in the leg?” But the officer gives a textbook response.
But perhaps one of the worse takes was from former Obama Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett.
It’s amazing how much she gets wrong in such a short tweet. Of course, she was the power behind Barack Obama, so she has a lot of experience with bad takes and being wrong.
First, the cop yelled, “Get down!” at Bryant four times as she went after the other girl, but she kept going until the girl was on top of the hood of the car and the knife was a second from coming down on her. For Jarrett to falsely call it a “knife fight” when the other girl was being attacked and didn’t have a knife was not only a lie, but it was victim blaming. The cop saved the life of the girl in the pink because her life mattered to him, but apparently to Valerie Jarrett, that girl’s black life doesn’t matter.

Yeah, but they would've listened to a social worker.
Angela Moore said Thursday the dispute occurred when two of her former foster children were at her home in east Columbus to celebrate her birthday on Tuesday.
"It was over keeping the house clean," Moore told CNN. "The older one told them to clean up the house because 'Mom doesn't like the house dirty.'"
"So that's how it all started," she added.
Moore told CNN that during the argument over cleaning, Bryant, according to another girl inside the house at the time, said, "You’re not the guardian of me."
"They argue all the time, but I never thought it would escalate like that," Moore added.
The foster mother said she was at work when the incident unfolded and had gotten a phone call from the 22-year-old woman – seen in police body camera footage as wearing all pink – demanding that she return home.
"Mom, get home. Where are you? They're going crazy," Moore said to CNN, recalling what she was told on that call. "She said they shot Ma'Khiz and I said, 'Huh?' It was just crazy."
Moore said she then started receiving text messages on her phone from people saying, "I’m sorry," and learned of Bryant’s death upon returning to the property.
Quote:On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” host Joy Reid stated that she is bothered by the fact that no one is asking why Ma’Khia Bryant was scared “so much that she felt that she needed to defend herself or pick up a knife?”
Reid said, “[W]e don’t know the details of what happened beforehand, but I am bothered that no one is asking what could have scared a 16-year-old girl enough that she felt she had to grab a kitchen knife, facing two adult women, right? People are just — no one’s asking, what would have scared a kid who’s in a
foster situation so much that she felt that she needed to defend herself or pick up a knife? No one’s asking that about her. They’re just saying, people with this sort of concern trolling, pretending they care so much about those other two women.”[/quote]
Quote:On Thursday’s “CNN Tonight,” former Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said that “Regardless of what Ma’Khia Bryant may have been doing, there is no justification for taking her life without attempting some form of intervention,” and that people are now having “conversations about who is murdered in the streets as a 16-year-old.”
Abrams said that people are having to “have conversations about who is murdered in the streets as a 16-year-old. Regardless of what Ma’Khia Bryant may have been doing, there is no justification for taking her life without attempting some form of intervention, and we are watching this happen again and again.”
She added that deaths at the hands of police can only change “if we change how voting happens and who gets to participate in our elections.”
Officer is a hero. He saved the girl in pinks life. This was 100% justified shooting. It was defense of others. The dead girl was committing an aggravated battery or attempting to commit murder both forcible felonies. The officer had a right to use deadly force at that point. Moral of the story don't try to stab people.
