Did you notice how the headline of the newspaper declared her death as murder? No bias there?
Absolutely a righteous shoot. If they hadn’t been acting like a pack of feral animals this wouldn’t have happened.
The Tueller Drill teaches that an attacker can cover 21 feet in 1.5 seconds, which is longer than most people can effectively draw from concealment.
If an armed belligerent is within about 21 feet, you should draw and issue commands to drop the weapon. If he instead advances toward you, you should shoot to stop. Even if you shoot an attacker at 21 feet, if he's hyped up sufficiently, he can still close the distance and stab you before he drops, so once you start shooting, you should keep shooting until he drops.
Whoever the idiot is that wrote that headline doesn’t know the difference between murder and homicide. In this case, justifiable homicide. That, or he/she just wants to trigger and inflame.
Lol! I’m guessing that police report was later edited and revised.
I remember seeing the video of this on TPool and Tatum’s. The copper was obviously defending the person about to be stabbed.
Gotta love the losers on MSM blaming the copper for not having simply shot the murdering By** by shooting her in the leg. Do any of you airheads have any idea how difficult it is to shoot a limb? When in motion?
Also, what about the guy who was kicking someone in the head on the curb when the coppers showed up? Was he ever arrested?
Ma’Khai was dead the day her trash mother gave her that ridiculous name.
I remember the media frenzy claiming it was common for kids to tussle like that... with knives...
Her killing further heightened racial tensions.
How come that never happens when it’s a black on black issue sounds like a race baiting issue.
The question becomes, “how does one adjust to the 21 foot, 1.5 second situation?”
Simple. Where possible, backup while drawing your weapon, thereby giving you more valuable time!
In such situations, it is incumbent on the attackee to be aware of their surroundings. In a possible other situation where it may work, turn and run until your weapon is drawn. Then defend!
“I remember seeing the video of this on TPool and Tatum’s. The copper was obviously defending the person about to be stabbed”
And the bystanders shifted in an instant from egging her on to yelling “she’s just a baby”.
“Gotta love the losers on MSM blaming the copper for not having simply shot the murdering By** by shooting her in the leg. Do any of you airheads have any idea how difficult it is to shoot a limb? When in motion?”
You can always tell those who’ve never shot anything but their mouths.
# I remember that incident, and the video. He was clearly justified.
Same here. Absolutely agreed
Also, a leg wound can still kill-if you hit a vein or artery, you can cause the person you shot to bleed out.
When you are an older person, facing a physically fit young thug, moving away fast enough is unlikely to be an option.
But, once you draw, it is a good idea to put some distance between yourself and the attacker while commanding him to drop his weapon.
