I can't imagine that is consistent with police training. I'll grant that it was a chaotic situation, but I was still surprised at how quickly he opened fire.
I think that Jenn Psaki should not be commenting on it (I don't really care what Lebron does) but I'm not surprised people are upset.
If the cop hadn't been quick on the draw, girl in pink is seriously injured or dead. Jamele Hill has now jumped into it as well. Didn't she used to cover sports or something. She is, quite literally, the worst. I think even Lebron believes Jemele takes things a bit too far.Quote:

She’s probably Pro Choice....Quote:

I didn't care what Jamele Hill had to say when she was a sports analyst, and I damn sure don't care now. I'm glad I'm not really on twitter.
No win situation for the officer. If you don’t shoot to kill you have a potentially murdered kid and another still holding a weapon.Quote:

What other choice did that officer have? And please don't go the taser route. A knife is a deadly weapon by law and you don't neutralize someone with a deadly weapon with the use of non-lethal force..especially in close proximity. Thank goodness he's a good shot.Quote:

Just so much fucking stupid in this world right now it’s amazing. I guess next time just let the girl stab the shit out of her and kill her. Fuck it....no cop ever show up for a person that is black. Problem solved.
