Columbus police shoot and kill Black teenaged girl who called them for help

M. B. was allegedly about to be assaulted by several adult women. So, she called the police for help. But, she was shot and killed.

As we celebrate the former Minneapolis D. C. police officer being convicted of second-degree involuntary manslaughter, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for the death of George Floyd, here we go again with reports of another black life lost at the hands, and guns - of police officers. This time, a teenage girl later identified as M. B., who was fatally shot by Columbus, Ohio police.

According to her aunt, H. B., she was the one who called the police, as well as her grandmother and father, for help. Apparently, the black teenager was living in a foster home. When several adult women came to his home, an altercation ensued. M. then grabbed a knife to defend himself.

"M. was in front of the house defending himself from a physical assault when the police arrived and he had already dropped the knife in the yard. But the police shot him four times without warning," Yahoo reports .

Several people witnessed the incident, including a woman named T. J. who wrote about it on Facebook. J. said the teen initially had a knife in her hand "because someone tried to jump on her."

H. said, " The police are going to lie . I'm so thankful someone from the family was at the scene. The police are going to lie. The police are going to cover up. They don't care. At this point, I feel like they just want to kill black people. They're not here to protect and serve. That's not happening. That stopped a long time ago. They're not here to protect and serve. They're here to kill black people.

After being shot , M. was transported to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead. "She was good. She was loving, " her aunt continued. "... She didn't deserve to die like a dog in the street." protesters Since then, the arrived on the scene.

that pink panther was lucky she managed to get the hell out of there.

The Columbus Department of Public Safety held a press conference this evening after a police officer shot and killed M. B. Tuesday afternoon.

Officers were called to the 3100 block of Legion Lane, north of Chatterton Road, just after 4:30 p.m. for a disturbance. B's family says she called the police for help because girls were fighting outside her house.

B. was taken to Mount Carmel East in critical condition where she was later pronounced dead.

In a statement tweeted Tuesday evening, Mayor Andrew Ginther said "a young woman tragically lost her life" and that there is body camera footage of the incident. Ginther asked for people to "remain calm" and allow investigators to gather the facts.

Jesus Christ, that article was a MESS, I didn’t understand who was killed because they used him and her interchangeably along with M. and M.B. to describe the same person, WTF?

[Pyramid_Head]

She was attempting to stab someone, this was 100% justified. Fucking loud mouth idiots expect him to just stand by and watch the assault happen?

Why call the cops and then start swinging a knife at someone when they show up. smh I'm surprised we haven't run out of Darwin Awards yet.

Justified. What are the cops supposed to do when a big fat Lizzo wanna be is getting ready to gut that pink panther? Just stand there. Maybe, they should have called crisis intervention so they could show up and negotiate the knife out of her hand??? Deadly force does not have to be toward the officer. He clearly saved pink panther's life.
