Completely backs up the officer's body cam video.

And gives the lie to NBC's deceptive "knife on the ground when shot" story.

"Throughout the report, a [NBC Nightly News] graphic at the bottom of the screen read, "POLICE FATALLY SHOOT 16-YEAR-OLD BLACK GIRL HOLDING KNIFE" and a still image from the bodycam footage showed a knife on the ground."

NBC consciously and unethically twisted the news into an anti-police pretzel.

Here is a pair of screenshots that tell the story. They offer visual proof that the girl in pink was a millisecond away from having her throat or body cut wide open.

The full force of Ma'Khia Bryant's considerable bodyweight is behind the final knife thrust as seen in the 2nd freeze-frame.

The officer's expert marksmanship saved a life milliseconds before that life would be terminated by an enraged Ma'Khia about to put her full 200 pounds behind the knife plunge.

$10 says he shot her in the ass. It was center mass, big target. You could say it was a center-ass shot.

"...by an enraged Ma'Khia about to put her full 200 pounds behind the knife plunge."

That girl is at least 300 - I was 220 at one time (I'm also a female, 5'3"), and I NEVER looked that big. Her legs are HUGE!
