I think the problem is that he shot her four times.
A sentiment shared by a lot of people who've never had to intervene to save someone's life.
He could have fired once checked to see if that was enough to stop the attacker.
Looking at the video, she was still within striking distance of the intended victim.
So fire twice, and wait and see?
And in the interim, a girl is stabbed, maybe fatally, maybe not?
It looks to me like he fired until she dropped the knife.
You can see the attacker raise the knife above her head in an apparent attempt to stab that second girl.
His duty first and foremost was to prevent the girl in pink from getting stabbed and he fired until she was down and no longer a threat.
It will be debated whether or not four shots were necessary, and if the cop even saved anybody's life.
Given what I see on the video, and the time frame involved, I see no wrongdoing on the officer's part.
