Where it comes down I do not care

"The View" co-hosts Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin agreed on Thursday that the police officer who shot and killed Ma’Khia Bryant in Columbus, Ohio, on Tuesday had the option to "de-escalate" Bryant's knife attack instead of using "deadly force."
Behar suggested the officer could have just shot his gun in the air instead of aiming it at the 16-year-old.
"He said the cop had no choice ... and my feeling is I don’t know if that’s true or not," Behar said. "I really can’t figure it out anymore. It seems to me ... in a situation ... I’ve looked at the tape and I still can’t figure it out. Shoot the gun in the air, warning, tase a person, shoot them in the leg, shoot them in the behind. Stop them somehow. But if the only solution is to kill a teenager, there’s something wrong with this."
Behar's suggestion comes a day after an unidentified reporter was slammed for asking Interim Columbus Police Chief Michael Woods if the Columbus officer could have shot Bryant in the arm or leg instead of aiming for center mass.
"Can an officer shoot the leg, can they shoot somewhere that would not result in a fatal wound?" the reporter asked.
Woods explained officers are not trained to shoot the leg because it's too small a target.

Better yet the cops could have went for a doughnut. I have no idea why they continue responding to siht people in siht neighborhoods.
If the feral didn’t stop when the cop showed up, she wasn’t going to stop with a gunshot in the air. She was singularly focused on killing the girl in pink, period.
And face it, had the cop done nothing, he’d be under fire from the left for letting a black girl get killed proving his racism.
In other words, with the left, there is no winning.
Joy, you ignorant slut! Bryant was in such a rage. She was determined to stab the girl in pink. There was only deadly force available to save the girl in pink.
Joy Behar. You’d need a crane to get it u....
Behar said. “I really can’t figure it out anymore.
Could she ever?
In any case, I don’t know of a single PD anywhere in the country that trains its officers to fire “warning shots”, in the air or any other damn place.
What good is a warning if you’re not going to follow thru?
What good is a warning when the attacker will finish the attack before follow thru can commence?
What part of “armed police are feet away screaming orders” isn’t sufficient warning?
No, he should have shot the knife out of her hand, you maroon.
If joy is ever attacked by someone with a knife I hope she’ll be as receptive if the cop just asks the person to stop in a really friendly voice.. either shes right and the person will stop or she’ll be stabbed. Either way its a win/win..
She’d better hope she’s never in a similar situation with the responding LEO of the same mind as her.
Warning shots, only 8n the movies and “progressives” imagination. Kinda like the idiots that think he could of shot the knife out of her hand Lone Ranger style.
We need black people reform in this country
The concept of a warning shot is alien to the military and police.
Not to mention, when these A holes are bobbing and weaving, it’s hard enough to hit them center mass, let alone in the leg.
Are these idiots naturally stupid, or do they have to work at it?
>>>No, he should have shot the knife out of her hand, you maroon.<<<
Everybody knows that is what Tom Mix or the Lone Ranger would have done!
And then sit back and watch her stab the other girl?
When I saw this blowhards name at the top of this thread, I only clicked on to read some of the comic post that would surely be in response, to this idiots comments. I wasn’t disappointed!
"Stop. Don't."
