    We have about 10 seconds of police video.

    Which is the entire situation! The footage goes from the cop getting to the scene, leaving his car and shooting the girl. What else is there to see?

    Neither the taser or pepper spray will instantly stop someone, especially when they are about to assault someone with a knife. Four shots seems excessive, but shooting someone who's about to potentially murder someone else doesn't feel like it should be something that people focus on when criticizing the police.

    edit: i just realized i don't care enough to argue over this. fuck cops. using this as an example of poor police work is counterproductive though.

        do you really not see the difference between harming someone harming others and letting someone defenseless get harmed?
        getting stabbed several times is very likely to get you killed too

          Because those 4 bullets definitely couldn't have hit somebody else, like the person directly behind her

      " i just realized i don’t care enough to argue over this. fuck cops. using this as an example of poor police work is counterproductive though." This, once we start using shitty flimsy examples of how pigs suck our position falls short and movements lose credibility, comrades falling for an obvious trap.
