It's just fascinating to me that the Left will go to such lengths to paint this as some innocent girl who got murdered because she was black.
Such as Kathy Griffin trying to normalize knife fights in schools, yep those are normal, who hasn't been in a knife fight?? It's all in good fun!

That's what happened here. She pulled a pocket knife, and one swarp across R/side of the neck. End of story.

The man who was shot in Elizabeth City NC was 40 y/o with 10 kids.
You never know. I do know that the solution to this problem of two girls fighting where one might potentially kill the other one (and that could potentially happen in a fist fight or a simple push) was to kill one of them. Perhaps this should be the solution to every street fight. The police can walk up and terminate the one who appears to be the aggressor.
And no, I am in no way trying to paint anyone involved as “innocent”.

If someone threatens a knife on me or anyone I care about, I'm putting them down by any means necessary.
No matter how "friendly" their "street fight" was going to be.
Unarmed is a different story. Do that $#@! all day long, as long as both are standing, I don't give a $#@!.
Draw a deadly weapon, expect deadly results.

And the fat girl was clearly off her hinges. Early in video, pink sweater girl appeared to be calm, standing still.
I can't see there being any doubt, that chubby girl was the aggressor

I don't get some people's mentality. When I was a bit younger and wilder, I don't care what I was doing, if an authority figure showed up, I was suddenly on my best behavior.
Once a guy who I was about to fight pretended to be friends when the cops arrived. After the cop left we didn't fight. We actually gained respect for each other and became pretty good friends.
I would NEVER pull a knife on someone in front of the cops. Not only was that 16 year old dangerous, she was crazy. I can't blame the cop.
...
To be clear, I don't believe that the cop should be punished. He did what he was trained to do.
What I am suggesting is that there are more possibilities than one (shooting her). A nearly infinte number of other scenarios where neither of the young women ended up dead. I will continue to believe that training and tactics of the Police have become extreme, driven by a mindset of kill or be killed. I believe that should change.

I think it's because black people live in a completely different world. They live in a world that glorifies violence as a means of dominance. Strength is measured by how many people are afraid of you. Knife fights are an everyday occurrence; more of a ritual of dominance than an actual act of aggression.
This is why there is such a disconnect. If black people want their lives to "matter", they are going to have to learn that knife fights are not OK.
They are going to have to learn to resolve disputes without violence. This violence is so ingrained into their culture, it will take generations.
In the meantime the only thing we can do is separate, and let them sort out that $#@! on their own.

Would you have the same reservations about putting down someone who opened fire in a movie theater?
I don't see a difference.
You say "let her stab the girl and see what happens", which is honestly what I would do. But then again I'm a heartless bastard and human lives of strangers doesn't mean much to me.

The combination of "circular force continuum" training with a culture of "office safety über alles" is extremely dangerous and is heavily weighted in favor of producing "shoot first and ask questions later" scenarios. Something very much needs to be done to put an end to such vicious nonsense. But I don't think any of those issues are germane in this particular case, because any mundane would have been justified in acting just as the cop did in this situation.
Any of myriad other less lethal outcomes would have been preferable, of course - but "coulda woulda shoulda" is a game that can always be played in these kinds of situations. The most important question is not whether something else the cop theoretically could have done might have been preferable [1], but whether what the cop actually did do is a violation of the NAP. Based on the information currently available (and subject to change should additional information become available), I think the answer to that most important question is "no."
And because there is no NAP violation on the part of the cop in this case, the fact that he happens to be a cop is not particularly significant - or at least, it shouldn't be. The situation and relevant considerations would be exactly the same if the shooter had been a mundane (such as a neighbor or random passerby). The usual problem with cops is that they are, as a matter of course, granted higher authority over mundanes while simultaneously being held to a lower standard of acccountability than mundanes. But there should be no distinction at all between cops and mundanes. Cops (or their equivalent) should just be citizens who have a particular job - a job that does not give them any more authority or any less accountability than any other citizen.
As unfortunate as the outcome of this particular incident is, I don't see it as one in which a cop (whatever the nature of his training or degree of concern for his own personal safety may have been) did anything a mundane shouldn't be permitted to do under the same circumstances.
[1] Note that I am not saying that this question isn't an important one. I'm saying that it isn't the most important one. And in any case, as we do not live in a perfect world populated with perfect people, "yes" will almost always be the correct answer to the question, "might something else one theoretically could have done have been preferable to what one actually did do?"

Except that if this was a white civilian neighbor or passerby, there would be no body camera. In it’s place would be the word of family members who claimed that the person just walked up and shot this innocent girl, who was having a loud discussion with another girl. The usual race agitators and media pundits would scream that it was racism. They would dox the shooter and find out he once donated $10 to Oathkeepers in 2011 and call it a white supremacist organization. The narrative would be exaggerated and repeated ad nauseum, and be believed by the vast majority of the population. There would be murals of St. Ma’Khia on walls. Riots, looting and arson would occur across the nation. The shooter would be tried and easily convicted. Two years from now we might hear the first story that the girl had a knife in her hand. It wouldn't matter.

I wouldn't be at all surprised - and the same scenario (or something like it) might well play out if the cop didn't have a body cam.
Fortunately, though, he did - and we have the footage.
Now let's hope it red-pills some of the people who see that footage and compare it to the hysterical and unhinged reactions to the incident.

Most common steak knives are cheap and made of very thin material. They will bend or break when stabbing. If sharp, they may be able to slice bare skin.
Yes, there are some solid kitchen knives, but they are expensive and not common. Common steak knives would not be a good choice for combat.

Baptiste said.
At which point will Americans realize that creating an unaccountable institution that is able to pass its liability on to tax-payers is immoral and attracts sociopaths?
Exactly. The whole world has become paranoid.
Consider for a moment that most "self-defense" training originates with military and police training. In that mindset, the mere presence of a knife or gun is considered an immediate and lethal threat.
Likewise, COVID is such an immediate and lethal threat that all types of precautions and mandates are "required". Children must be vaccinated with an experimental vaccine with known side effects to avoid the .0001% chance they might die from COVID.
Is the mere presence of a gun grounds for immediate termination? Think about Police training. In many places, they just might shoot on sight anyone involved in open carry. Kill or be killed.
On the other hand, some Police can empty a magazine at close range and miss with every shot*. Some shooters are more dangerous than others.
* Can't find a link, but there was local case where 5 officers all opened fire at point blank range and got zero hits on target. Suspect got off some shots too, and IIRC, one cop was hit in the belt buckle.
