NOT ONE of these mass murderers was shot on sight by police prior to arrest, despite committing some of the worst domestic terrorism on US soil with far more dangerous weaponry than this girl's knife.

Furthermore, *even if* she had managed to stab one or more of the people she was fighting, the mortality risk from stab wounds are actually even less than that from blunt force (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stab_wound#Epidemiology) talk less of if she'd had a firearm instead. So the officer's threat assessment is shady af.

I'm not saying whatever those girls were fighting about didn't need to be de-escalated.

But we need to stop normalizing the use of Black bodies for target practice. They shot her like she was wildlife.

Meanwhile, these mass murderer White dudes get to just casually turn themselves in or get recognized during a traffic stop or whatever. The disparity in treatment is insane.
