Dumb fuck never heard of a taser? No, he killed her because he loves to kill. Another trigger happy cop.

this is not a george floyd 9 min knee to neck situation. this was a complete shit show with the girl about to stab another girl. i get why the cop fired in this situation although its unfortunate it had to end up this way.

a good excuse not to work. looting in stores and pretending to be victims, every time this happens to them they make them feel like gods just because they don't know. behave

So the girl calls the cops because she wants their help - what help did she require exactly? Help for her to complete the murder she was attempting?

They arrive, and instead of letting them do the job she called them for, she comes hefting out towards the troublemakers like a banshee, armed with a knife and attempts to stab two of them right in front of the armed cops.

Not really sure what else anyone expected here, including her. Maybe she thought being young made her invincible. I’m not a fan of armed police and the gun culture over there but that’s another debate. It is what it is, and when you live in that world you abide by it. She got exactly what you’d expect to get. This had nothing to do with race.

Most law enforcement agencies have policies that guide their use of force. These policies describe a escalating series of actions an officer may take to resolve a situation. This continuum generally has many levels, and officers are instructed to respond with a level of force appropriate to the situation at hand, acknowledging that the officer may move from one part of the continuum to another in a matter of seconds.



An example of a use-of-force continuum follows:

Officer Presence — No force is used. Considered the best way to resolve a situation.
The mere presence of a law enforcement officer works to deter crime or diffuse a situation.
Officers' attitudes are professional and nonthreatening.
Verbalization — Force is not-physical.
Officers issue calm, nonthreatening commands, such as "Let me see your identification and registration."
Officers may increase their volume and shorten commands in an attempt to gain compliance. Short commands might include "Stop," or "Don't move."
Empty-Hand Control — Officers use bodily force to gain control of a situation.
Soft technique. Officers use grabs, holds and joint locks to restrain an individual.
Hard technique. Officers use punches and kicks to restrain an individual.
Less-Lethal Methods — Officers use less-lethal technologies to gain control of a situation.
Blunt impact. Officers may use a baton or projectile to immobilize a combative person.
Chemical. Officers may use chemical sprays or projectiles embedded with chemicals to restrain an individual (e.g., pepper spray).
Conducted Energy Devices (CEDs). Officers may use CEDs to immobilize an individual. CEDs discharge a high-voltage, low-amperage jolt of electricity at a distance.
Lethal Force — Officers use lethal weapons to gain control of a situation. Should only be used if a suspect poses a serious threat to the officer or another individual.
Officers use deadly weapons such as firearms to stop an individual's actions.

Clipped from a website documenting use of force guidelines. The Bold/underline (B U) was my emphasis. I think decision making was consistent with "serious threat to the officer or another person".

This is how they are trained. Was Chauvin wrong? Absolutely. Was the police reaction in this situation wrong? No, not even maybe

killed one person to save another, what if the police let it happen? the outrage would have been more pronounced...

I wonder if you would have that same opinion if you were the person she was trying to stab to death.
