Leftists Falsely Claim Police Shooting of Ohio Teen Was in Response to a “Knife Fight”

Leftists are now claiming that the police shooting of a 16-year-old black girl in Columbus, Ohio was unjustified because the girl was merely involved in a “knife fight,” despite footage showing only she had a knife as she tried to stab two victims.

As we highlighted earlier, BLM supporters initially lied in claiming Ma’Khia Bryant was an unarmed victim who had called the police for help.

In reality, it was one of her victims who called 911 and bodycam footage subsequently showed Bryant using a kitchen knife to stab two other girls while a man helped her by kicking one of the girls in the head while she was down.

Now leftists are absurdly asserting that the police shouldn’t have intervened in a “knife fight.”

BLM activist Bree Newsome described the incident as a “fight involving knives” despite the fact that only the attacker who was shot by the cop was carrying a knife.

Kathy Griffin also claimed police shouldn’t have got involved in “a group of teenagers having a fight.”

“A Black teenage girl named Ma’Khia Bryant was killed because a police officer immediately decided to shoot her multiple times in order to break up a knife fight. Demand accountability. Fight for justice,” tweeted Valerie Jarrett.

This is plainly ludicrous because a “knife fight” would have to involved two people being armed with knives. Only Bryant was armed with a knife and her victims were unarmed.

That’s not a “fight,” that’s attempted murder.

The officer who shot Bryant actually saved two black lives, but he will now be denounced as a racist murderer and at bare minimum have his life destroyed.
