I urge everyone to watch this entire video before rushing to say it was a "justified shooting." One still frame isn't the whole story.

1. Ma'Khia Bryant had a flimsy 4 inch table knife. It wasn't a large knife that is being reported by news outlets.

2. Nicholas Reardon had his hand on his firearm the entire time before he shot Ma'Khia Bryant. He had several opportunities to deescalate the situation before taking the fatal shot. He exited his cruiser with the intention of pulling his firearm.

3. Ma'Khia Bryant wasn't shot in the chest, and you will see that if you watch the entire video. She was shot in the back and side. The officer had enough time to tackle her from behind, but he was too busy aiming his firearm to shoot as if he was playing a video game.

4. While you are watching the video, remember you are watching children. Black children are not adults, nor are they more mature than their White counterparts. You are watching children fighting, and a child brandishing a flimsy table knife. She is not some deranged killer.
