Ma'Khia Bryant and two other young women argued over a messy house and unmade bed before a fight that ended with the fatal police shooting shooting of the Black teenager, the woman who cared for Ma'Khia in foster care said Thursday.

Angela Moore said two of her former foster children had come to her Columbus, Ohio, home Tuesday to celebrate her birthday when the young women and Ma'Khia bickered over housekeeping.

"It was over keeping the house clean," Moore said. "The older one told them to clean up the house because 'Mom doesn't like the house dirty,'" Moore recalled being told after she arrived home from work. "So that's how it all started."

Officials in Columbus have released body camera video of Tuesday's shooting -- during which Ma'Khia lunges at another young woman with a knife outside the house -- and urged residents to await the facts in the investigation.

Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Moore relayed for CNN the story she said she was told by one of the girls in the house at the time.

"You're not the guardian of me," Bryant replied, according to the story Moore said she was told.

"They argue all the time," Moore recalled, "but I never thought it would escalate like that."

Moore said she received a frantic call from one of the former foster children, who is seen in police body camera footage wearing pink and recoiling as Ma'Khia lunges at her with a shimmering knife.

"Mom, get home. Where are you? They're going crazy," Moore said the young woman told her. "She said they shot Ma'Kiah and I said, 'Huh?' It was just crazy."

"Ohio State students demand university cuts ties with Columbus police after Ma’Khia Bryant shooting"

That's fine. Make the University a no-go zone before shutting it down.

If they had just started cleaning up a bit and not fuss'n, then she would still be alive right now. Grab a sponge, and not a knife next time.

on June 27, 2005, in Castle Rock v. Gonzales, the U.S. Supreme Court again ruled that the police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm. [8]
Let the participants sort it out. As the case of the knife fight involving two 13 year old girls in Cincinnati, you still have one dead.

“Rethink” policing: No Go Zones. Only after action reports presented to the DA for possible prosecution.

They’ll probably announce that “she’s not black” like those “horrible” African Americans who dared vote for Trump. :(

Fine. Let them cut ties. Let the campus po-po deal with any campus violence. Or, better yet, cut ties with them as well.

It too longer than expected for the requisite song and dance team to come out with, “oh, she was the nicest, funniest person on earth who had dreams and loved cleaning the house.” How soon will they rename the street for her?

Hey, mama, why was your kid in foster care?

And tell your foster family thank you for giving you a nice home, food for your belly, a safe haven from whatever hell you came from and an all around good environment with people who care about you. That bed would have taken a minute to make and would have gone a long way to make the foster mother happy on her birthday.

And BLM and ANTIFA will get help from one of the ten largest university campuses in the nation:

Maybe they can board the states foster children and put a fence around the campus.

Refreshing change of motivation, isn’t it?

Make it into a movie.

It was and I will never forget his little face, his little hand waving to tell his story. Ten years later, I can still see him, where he sat and what he said and how quiet he was afterwards. Actually, I looked at the teacher and gave her a “is this true look” and she nodded, then we talked afterwards. I

So sad about that little boy; I hope he gets into a stable long-term home.
