How does anyone know she was holding a knife?
It's very clearly displayed several time in the video.
How do you know she was not defending herself from the adults who were there with her
The video shows the suspect attacking one of the girls from behind.
There is no indication I can see that the first victim was stabbed.
After she knocks the girl down, and as the adult is kicking that girl while she's down, the suspect charges the girl in pink, who had been walking quite casually.
After the cop yells at the suspect to get down, the knife is plainly seen in her hand raised above to the overhand position as the cop fires.
There is no element of self-defense in the suspect's actions as seen in the video.
The cop did what needed to be done in that specific circumstance.
What the video doesn't tell us is why the suspect attacked the two girls.
It also doesn't tell us how the situation got to the point of police being called about a potential stabbing, with adults just casually standing around.
It doesn't tell us who called the police.
And it doesn't tell us why that adult kicked one of the victims.
The investigation is ongoing, and I hope that it answers the above questions.
But the chain of events depicted in the video seem quite clear.
