This is Ma’Khia Bryant.

Her mother says she was 16-years-old (not 15), an honor roll student, and a sweet child

Columbus Police reportedly responded to the child’s call for assistance and shot her in the chest four times, killing her.

Columbus Police tell the gathering crowd on the scene that “Blue Lives Matter”—AFTER SHOOTING A TEENAGED GIRL TO DEATH.

There is NO reforming a system in which cops literally see themselves as victims immediately after they’ve killed children.

Ma’Khia Bryant’s mother describes her daughter.

From the video I saw, Ma’Khia was wearing brightly-colored rainbow Crocs when police shot her in the chest four times, killing her.

She died with the still apple-round cheeks of a young child.
