For all we know, the big girl took the knife off the other girl.

Clearly you did not watch the video. There was actually three girls in the video involved in this altercation. Two girls come from the cops right and down a hill in front of a house. The girl that gets shot, wearing a black t-shirt with white on the front, is clearly brandishing a knife pushes the second girl down onto the sidewalk and the sets out to attack the girl in pink. It was not until the first girl cocks her arm back in preparation to stab the girl in pink does the officer take action. As the first girl is running to the girl in pink the officer shouts to get back. It s only when the girl with the knife begins her motion to stab the girl in the pink does the officer fire four shots in quick succession. The girl in pink runs off to the officer’s right. The girl that was pushed down onto the sidewalk scrambled on her knees behind the cop.

So the girl with the knife did not attack one girl but two, however nothing is said if the girl who was pushed down received any injuries from the knife wielder. Clearly the girl with the knife had the intention and commitment to kill with the knife the girl in pink.
