MSNBC’s Williams on Columbus Police Shooting: ‘A Knife Can Be Seen’ But Cops Didn’t Try to Use Non-Lethal Force
Breitbart ^ | 04/21/2021 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 04/21/2021 6:07:22 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “11th Hour,” host Brian Williams discussed the fatal police shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant in Columbus, OH and said that while a knife is visible in the body camera footage of the shooting, the officer “fired his weapon” and there was not any “attempt to use pepper spray or a taser, non-lethal force.”

Because a knife is lethal force.

If you think it was bad now, it is about to get a hell of a lot worse. Now that the media and their mobs have learned that they can influence the outcomes of day to day events. Enjoy. Sooner or later, it will filter down to include everyone’s lives. Mob action and mob rule. America is about experience mob action and mob rule at its best.

I have been trained in knife fighting including by a Marine combat instructor. Trust me, a knife can kill. Easily. Generally 21 feet is considered danger close for anyone trained and even just experienced (ie street trained). But this moron Williams probably doesn’t know that.

Williams is a typical limousine liberal - pontificating on what police should or should not do - while he hides behind armed security, travels with security and lives in a guard gated neighborhood or building which the rest of us can’t afford.

Notice the Left was never upset that a Somali officer fired his weapon INSIDE a car (in front of his partner) and killed a woman who posed no threat.

No concern about the shooting of the woman in DC “she deserved it and so did all of ‘em” so goes the rhetoric.

And despite all of their nasty remarks about police officers they still demand that police have their back when they pick an altercation with a citizen who gets the upper hand.

He shot her as she was literally on the downward stroke towards her target’s face. You don’t pull a taser on someone who is that close and armed.

Works both ways. Anti- Marxist mobs. Yeah, I know the Left is in power, but their is a limit to what Chairmin Biden can do, especially with hero govs like DeSantis.

You are going against the tide. Conservatives consider it beneath their dignity to take to the streets. Should you need proof of this , go back no further that the stolen election.

Did Williams happen to mention the life that was saved by the cop’s quick, decisive action?

'Clearly, the cop should have either used The Force, or set his phaser to stun.'

- MSNBC, right now.

Now that is funny, I don't care who you are!

How about this: George Floyd, Daunte Wright and that long list of losers would still be alive today if they didn’t break laws and/or didn’t resist arrest.

When your precious progeny is about to stab another human being, deadly force to stop them is acceptable.

The girl with the knife had the other girl pinned down and raised the knife above her head ready to plunge it into the other girl.....That’s when the cop fired his weapon....another second and the girl would have been stabbed...Agressor stopped...

Clean shoot.......

The one male in the video is certainly the hero is this affair. He was the only man on site fearless enough to kick a girl in the head while she was down.

Then he starts yelling at the cop for shooting the land-whale. That’s a real BLM ghetto role-model right there.

Can we get Obama to award this man a Medal of Honor?
