I saw a lot of these tweets earlier today. I followed my usual rule of not commenting until I saw the video or got more details.

Now bodycam footage has been released and you can literally see the girl trying to stab someone forcing the officers to fire.

Did a quick search and all the usual suspects jumped on this. Spread it to tens of thousands of people as an unjustified shooting. That's also how the Daily Beast article framed it. We have a serious problem when the outrage mobs can't wait a few hours for the truth.
And I'm sorry, but if you can watch that video and see this shot of her about to stab someone right before the officer fired and think it's an improper use of force, there really isn't much to discuss.
