Democrat Val Demings Defends Officer in Ma’Khia Bryant Shooting
New York Post ^ | April 26, 20 | Emily Jacobs

Rep. Val Demings says she believes the police officer who fatally shot 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant last week was acting in accordance with his training, as body camera footage appears to show the teen was about to stab another girl.

Demings (D-Fla.), the former chief of police in Orlando, made the comments to CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday after being asked about the fatal police shooting in Columbus, Ohio.

“I also was a patrol officer who was out there on the street having to make those split-second decisions,” the Florida lawmaker explained. “Everybody has the benefit of slowing the video down and seizing the perfect moment. The officer on the street does not have that ability. He or she has to make those split-second decisions and they’re tough.”

That’s why she isn’t VP.

Let me tell you about Val Dumings.

No, let Val Dumings tell you about herself. Straight out of the First Impeachment. This sheboon is dumb as a stump. Just spend 5 minutes listening to these noises:

"been condision on the demands . a little notebook he took with notes on KEEV officials ... some president trumps tack top advisors ... faul to dokument condukt he saw or herd ... ebidence of all of dese dokuments they are set forward in the first dokument of impeechment ... secific discreet set of dokuments ... forrowing ..."

"And personnel, ... personal ... Ambassador ... Texas other state dept officials ... Ambassador to the Ukraine, er, European Union ... A senior official in the embessy in KEEV .. "

RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

Still stuned that this misplaced McDonald's midnight manager is actually going to humiliate herself by running for higher ("hi-yuh") office.

For f***'s sake, please run against DeSantis so he can run up the score. Even that down-low meth-head Andrew Gillum could string two sentences together better than this half-wit - barely.

Rubio should be forming a skunk PAC and run pro-Dumings ads right now to entice her into that Senate race. But either DeSantis or Foam Boy is going drum Dumings in a way that will be noticed.

Shove your race card up yo azz, biznatch.

Vile was absolutely exposed in that 1st Trial as a 'Howse Man-uh-guh'.

You just know Sean Maloney at DCCC and Scott Fairchild at DSCC are brainstorming with Nancy how to very quietly, very subtly discourage Dumings from any higher office attempt, probably throw her a bone with a better House Committee assignment.

"need to see these emails and other fouls [sic] at the State Dept. ... other unidentified, numberous [sic] times ... base [sic] on recenly [sic] obtained documents .. has assised [sic] him in his representation of Pres. Trump [ undiscernible ]" "These are just some of the communications we know" [turns the page] [repeats] "These are just some of the communications we know"
