even while being stabbed.

These officers were properly trained, and they physically engaged which was the difference. Both cops were stabbed multiple times at close range, and not once
did they draw their firearms.

The cop who shot Bryant was not properly trained, and he didn’t totally understand
the situation at hand. He jumped to an unnecessary action to stop the attack.


So many thoughts and perceptions are tossed around when the situation
involves a black person and white police officer.

Did the officer jump to that conclusion because the attacker was black?

Would his approach have been different had the attacker been white?

Due to the current social climate in America it’s very difficult to give the officer
the benefit of the doubt.
