My First Knife Fight? Leftists call knifings kid stuff in wake of Columbus police intervention

 

Kids will be kids

"The far left has been mouthing so many phony, untrue things about crime and punishment in the U.S. that some of its unhinged denizens can no longer recognize reality.

"That would likely explain why one Black Lives Matter activist, Bree Newsome, found herself the subject of ridicule on Twitter and beyond for jumping the shark on the subject of stabbings, which is the topic of the day regarding a police intervention in Columbus, Ohio, where an officer shot a 16 year-old in the act of stabbing another girl. Newsome's twisted herself into a pretzel over the incident to whip up the narrative that cops are evil and knife stabbings are everyday occurrences, effectively declaring the vicious near-disemboweling of a teenager in pink jammed up against the hood of a car at the hands of another teen, Ma'Khia Bryant, a sort of rite of passage for Black people. And after a torrent of ridicule, she won't stop digging.

"Here's her first tweet, which, as of this writing, is still up: 

Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons. We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene & using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y’all need help. I mean that sincerely.
I remember the good ol’knife fights when I was growing up. Was cool. Like when little Johnny got disemboweled we just laughed uncontrollably on the ground. It even made Johnny chuckle. Good times.

Why does the left so passionately want to venerate criminals?  . . . "Oprah Winfrey, a multi-billionaire, basks in her own perceived victimhood, as do all those multi-millionaire athletes "of color."  We must be grateful for the many, many black conservatives who have not and never will fall victim to the oppression meme — Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Larry Elder, Allen West, Candace Owens, Vernon Jones, Tim Scott, Jason Riley, Carol Swain, and others.  But these folks are reviled by the left, for they threaten leftists' plan to render all black people Democrats for life, to accept the second-class status to which the left means to condemn them.  Their job?  To hate all white people." . . .

Pigs fly! ‘He Has A Duty’: Don Lemon And Chris Cuomo Defend The Officer Who Shot Ma’Khia Bryant  Credit where credit is due.

Cuomo agreed that tasers don’t work the way guns work, especially at the distance that the officer was standing away from Bryant and with just a split-second to make a decision. Lemon made the point that tasers don’t always connect with the target they are trying to hit.

 The White House’s Shameful Race-Baiting Framing Of The Death Of Ma’Khia Bryant (VIDEO)  . . . "Did Psaki offer any context, any nuance, or even the benefit of the doubt of an officer who had to make a life-or-death decision when one teen was poised to plunge a knife into another teen who was backed against the hood of a car, with only an outstretched leg to keep her attacker at bay?

"Nope. Because there is anger against the police and a dead black girl, whose death can be exploited for political gain! You know what comes next, don’t you?

"If you guessed ‘irrelevant inflammatory race-baiting’, you are right!" . . .

Media Ran With Early Reports On The Columbus Shooting Only To Be Wrong


. . . "Instead of waiting for the facts, people claimed that Bryant was unarmed. Many of the posts saying that the teenager was unarmed were still up as of Wednesday afternoon, even after body camera footage clearly showed that she had a knife. The tweets had been shared thousands of times. (RELATED: LeBron James Tweets Picture Of Officer Involved In Ma’Khia Bryant Shooting, Says ‘YOU’RE NEXT’)

“There has been yet another police shooting of an unarmed 16 year old Black teen girl by police in #ColumbusOhio,” CNN Legal Analyst Areva Martin wrote Tuesday night on Twitter.

Who can forget Obama's attack on the police during the Ferguson riots, but before that, recall his "the police acted stupidly" statement.  Yet again the Twitter warriors jumped to a conclusion about the officer-involved shooting in Columbus before the bodycam was released showing the girl was trying to stab somebody with a knife
