Teenagers have been involved in fights with knives for a very long time, activist and Black Lives Matter supporter Bree Newsome tweeted Tuesday.
“Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons. We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene & using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y’all need help. I mean that sincerely,” she wrote:

Newsome’s comments came after the Columbus Division of Police released bodycam footage showing the shooting Tuesday of a black teenager who appeared to be armed with a knife.
“The video appears to show the girl fighting with another girl as the officer opens fire,” Breitbart News reported, adding a knife was seen in the teen’s hand as she seemingly tried to stab the girl wearing pink.

During Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s the ReidOut, host Joy Reid spoke about the fatal police shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant, saying she remembered fights at school where a student had a knife “and teachers were able to diffuse that, and they didn’t have guns.”
In a subsequent post, Newsome said people “should be frightened that the ruling white elite have done such a thoroughly successful job of not only disconnecting us from the means of basic self-sufficiency but...

Well, he certainly would be one to know.
next time deal with it then and don’t call the cops
People die when stabbed sometimes. This policeman did just what he should have to save a life This BLM clown is looking for an excuse to criticize police which appears to be what the democrats want to do, given that that is what they have been doing. This policeman saved an innocent girl from dying. He is a hero!
Thug culture
“let the stronger teens win” < /sarc >
The saying goes “snitches get stiches”. knife wounds require stitches. That is, if the target even lives.
She’s of the mind as some principals used to say “it takes two to make a fight”.
Same attitude that defends those striking random strangers in the knockout game.
” ... when in black neighborhoods, let them settle their own differences
Show up later to call an ambulance and gather evidence.”
This was the unwritten policy of many police departments in the South (and maybe elsewhere) as recently as the 1980s.
BLM had been giving a pass to black on white crime.
Now they’re giving a pass to black on black crime.
Equal opportunity destroyer.
Not that I expect most of these geniuses to know Brown v. Board of Education, but the ones who do have any clue about it at all would tell you how important it was because it overturned segregation. Missing, of course, the irony that almost 70 years later, they are doing everything they can to reinstitute Plessy.
Does any care for the irony here that a BLM activist, i.e. someone who claims that Black Lives Matter, is basically saying that the life of the unarmed would-be victim in this case - the Black Life almost certainly saved by police intervention here - apparently doesn’t Matter after all?
Not where I grew up.
Well, they never mention the high numbers of black people shooting black people in democrat run inner cities. They appear to think that’s not a problem. So why worry about knife attacks. In their logic, black people have the right to kill black people for any reason. No need to intervene.
“Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons. We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene & using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y’all need help. I mean that sincerely,” she wrote...
Ms Newsome will gladly volunteer to being stabbed then ... to demonstrate the innocuousness of knife fights.
I’m becoming more and more in agreement with you as I see the left’s position. And pull the police out of the rich leftist white zones as well.
well that might work if they then didn’t call the cops to break up fights they didn’t want to take care of themselves
this girl fight was called in by blacks
they black guy who shot tge 7 year old and others was called in by blacks
see they want tge cops when tget want tge cops, and don’t want the cops when they don’t want them
its black mentality, generally insane and inconsistent
What is the end game of BLM? That blacks should be exempt from all laws and enforcement of same? I think it is.
This black person has a point. How dare white America tell black America it is wrong for one teenage girl to attack another teenage girl. These might be white values, but whitey shouldn’t force their values on blacks. I mean, they didn’t want to come here in the first place. Knife fights are normal in the black community. Whites would be more enlightened if they culturally appropriated this activity.
It is every white persons fault this young black girl is dead.
Sarcasm
I am perfectly happy to have police stand by to let urban youths kill one another and then arresting the victors for murder, Two birds with one stone.
“One in the ground and the other in the pound.”
does she think this is West Side Story??!
Yes the cops did the right thing- were they supposed to let the Junior Miss knife the other one?
I have door knobs with higher IQ’s.
