Four slugs, right before the Chauvin verdict. Wonder if he thought he had his Taser out? Couldn't have shot her in the leg, fired in the air first, anything but fatal shots? Did he have to shoot at all? Could he have used a Taser? Could he have talked her out of the knife with his mouth instead of a weapon? How can cops bring in armed, mass shooting killers unharmed but not this girl?

A 16-year-old Black girl was fatally shot by an officer outside her home after she called the police for help on Tuesday afternoon, according to her family.
The girl has been identified as Ma'Khia Bryant by her aunt, Hazel Bryant.
Bryant allegedly called officers at about 4:30 p.m. local time when a group of "older kids" threatened her with assault, her aunt told Ohio Statehouse News Bureau reporter Andy Chow. She did not elaborate on the nature of the threat.
The Columbus Police Department could not say on Tuesday whether Bryant was the one to call for assistance before she was shot.
