The media's lie brigade showed up bright and early in Columbus, Ohio, when Makiyah Bryant was shot while trying to stab a teenage girl.
The stories declared that Makiyah Bryant was a "sweet child", an "honor student", and another victim of this country's brutal systemic racism in which people shoot innocent people to... protect them from stabbing a black teenage girl.
And that's what happened in this case.
The officer takes a few steps toward a group of people in the driveway when the girl, who was Black, starts swinging a knife wildly at another girl or woman, who falls backward.
The officer shouts several times to get down.
The girl with the knife then charges at another girl or woman who is pinned against a car. --->READ MORE HERE
The fatal police shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant, a Black teenager seen on video charging at two people with a knife, came within minutes of the verdict in George Floyd’s killing — causing unrest by some over the continued use of lethal force by Columbus police.
An initial 10-second video was released Tuesday night. Authorities released 911 calls and more body worn camera video during a press conference Wednesday afternoon, one day after the fatal shooting of the 16-year-old girl by a Columbus police officer.
According to Columbus Police, the officer is Nicholas Reardon, who has been on the force for approximately 18 months.
Interim Chief Michael Woods began Wednesday’s press conference by saying his goal is to provide as much information as quickly as he can. Two 911 calls were played. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories:
