    OK, I’ll go further: Maybe the police officer should’ve only been carrying a taser and not a firearm.

    Whacking her with his baton works for me, too.

    Maybe the cop should have started singing to her to see if it calmed her down.

    It seems like the arguments here have to do more with systemic “training” issues than the officer, who I think we would all agree acted heroically.

    Watched the video. I usually land on the other side of these events, but that was a justified shoot (or shots). The cops were CLEARLY on scene, so claims of the girl staving off an attack fall way short. Instead, she went on the attack with a deadly weapon. A stab to the femoral artery or any other critical spots and she’s murdering someone.

    Fifteen, 10 or 21 — she was trying to attack.

    As for the arguments that cops should have tackled her or used a baton, there clearly wan’t time to cover that distance. If they could have, they’d be making millions in the NFL.

    All IMHO, of course.

    Some will always take the side of the dead individual when it comes to “police brutality.”

    I see the Claycists have been leading the charge of accusing LeBron of doxxing the Columbus police officer who shot that girl dead. Sometimes I think he's worse than Barstool. Most of their readers are mostly fighting for their right to be stupid, while the average Clay Travis reader thinks both he and by extension, they, are clever.

    Wonder if the dude who kicked the other girl right before the shooting will get charged with anything.

    If he had been Black, the police would have whacked him.

    Que up:

    "Sorry I was misquoted/taken out of context"
    "Sorry to anyone I may have offended"
    "I was joking"
    "Thoughts and prayers"
