Benjamin Crump: Columbus Police Shot ‘Unarmed’ Ma’Khia Bryant
breitbart ^ | 20 Apr 2021 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Attorney Benjamin Crump tweeted Tuesday evening that police in Columbus, Ohio, had shot an “unarmed” Ma’Khia Bryant, though body camera footage released by police to the media appeared to show that the teenager was armed with a knife.

Crump, a civil rights attorney who frequently represents the families of those killed by police, jumped to conclusions:

But as Breitbart reported Tuesday night, Bryant appeared to have been armed — and attacking another girl:

The Columbus Division of Police released a bodycam video showing Tuesday’s shooting of a young black girl who appeared to be armed with a knife. The video appears to show the girl fighting with another girl as the officer opens fire.

The knife can be seen in the girl’s hand as she appears to attempt to stab the girl in pink. The officer fires his weapon and the girl falls to the ground. The video shows the knife laying beside her.

It appears the officer shot to save the life of the girl in pink.

Bryant was also 16 years old, not 15 years old, according to statements to the media by a woman identified as her mother.

Getting to a point we need to have only a sheriff and some deputies only, and the neighborhoods can form no felon, law abiding militias to protect themselves, and if the sheriffs need more bodies they can go to the militias and deputize them, sounds crazy I know but maybe we should give it a shot.

An attorney that gets the main facts of a case completely 100% wrong...

If I wanted to win I would certainly hire him.

Be my guest.

Crump sounds like a “Shit Salesman” with a mouthful of samples.

“It appears the officer shot to save the life of the girl in pink.”

Watch the slo-mo video. It looked to me like the “dad” handed the perp the knife just before he kicked the girl on the ground in the head.

He was just doing a victory lap in Minneapolis and now he’s in Columbus. An ambulance chaser’s work is never done.

If I were the police union in any of these big cities, I'd have the police pull back to the city limits and start protecting the law-abiding citizens rather than have them baby-sitting the dumba$$ Democrats that live in (and are destroying) these big cities.

Aw crap. I just got it figured out. Anytime a black dies at the hands of whitey, whitey needs to die. MSM/Dims have decided there is absolutely nothing that a black can do that would be grounds to cause any harm to the black. Look for Schumer/Pelosi/Biden/John Roberts and the Supremes to enshrine this into law. Dims never lose another election. Only blacks will be allowed to possess firearms, as they are the only ones who will be allowed to kill.

Great system.

Maybe it’s time for police to just stop showing up to calls for help.
