A Black girl is dead because the cops brought a gun to a damn knife fight. If you don’t know how to de-escalate teen girls who are fighting, you should not be a police officer. I said what I said. #MakhiaBryant
And I don’t want hear it from the folks who keep on saying the cops protected other Black girls. I am glad they are safe. But most of y’all don’t give one fuck about Black girls. You just won’t reasons not to hold police to higher, better standards for policing. #MakhiaBryant
This is why our movements keep asking us to reimagine public safety and to defund the police. Because the cops act like the only tool they have is a goddamn gun. And that’s a failure of both competence and imagination.
A lot of you will walk away from this and soothe yourselves with the language that this was justified. It is neither just nor justified. A Black girl is dead. And if your framework of policing justifies this, you are part of the problem. I am done.
Why are the cops choosing the gun, versus the taser? This is becoming a pattern.
I think it was because a knife is deadly force
Another irresponsible comment. When people are in the mix of a fight they do not and can not think, hear or see correctly. From the information the police officer, the action was justified.
SHE WAS ABOUT TO STAB HER....WITH A KNIFE?!?!!??
