This one on Makiyah Bryant is such a scorching hot take that it deserved it’s own follow up post, rather than adding more to the earlier post (via Twitchy)
Teenagers have been having fights including fights involving knives for eons. We do not need police to address these situations by showing up to the scene & using a weapon against one of the teenagers. Y’all need help. I mean that sincerely.

I can’t remember anyone having a knife fight in grade school, high school, or college. Regular fights, sure. In case Bree forgot, someone, reportedly perp with the knife, per her family, called 911. Should police now ignore these calls if those fighting are blacks?
You're…arguing its racist for the police to *prevent* the murder of black teenagers? https://t.co/IHDFJiMPxj

Yes. Yes she is arguing that. And then she and the other Activists will complain that the police and government did nothing when blacks are stabbing each other. Did the life of the girl being attacked not matter?
Really, the police officer should have let them fight it out. One black kids gets killed, and Makiyah Bryant winds up in prison. Talk about a win/win situation!
When you have Derek Chauvin convicted of murder for using too much force to restrain a resisting, 6’3″ 240 lb drug-addicted and drug-addled convicted felon, what police officer would ever want to use his weapon to defend anyone other than himself?
I was blown away by the shooting displayed by that cop. How he got off numerous shots and did not hit the other girl is amazing.
Porter, do you expect us to believe that there wasn’t even ONE knife fight during the entire time that you spent at Blaine ?
Blaine is one of the most expensive and exclusive college prep schools in the entire country, and not one knife fight? I guess when you would now pay $50000+ per year to attend, kids get some distance from knife fights
While it has been a long time since I was in high school — I was graduated about 14 years after Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press — I know of fights in my high school in which at least one, and probably both, boys had knives in their pockets, yet the knives never came out.
I went to rough and tumble South Philly High and the only knives that came out were among the blacks who also shot each other one time in the cafeteria in honor of MLK’s death. The mics, polaks, krauts, wops, Jews and spicks just used fists. IOW, the same violent group of clowns as today.
[…] The Inquirer did have two stories about the shooting death of 16-year-old Ma’khia Bryant at the hands of a white police officer; young Miss Bryant was shot while attempting to stab another black woman. Miss Bryant’s black life mattered because of who fired the shots who killed her, and, for some people, her black life mattered more than the girl, another black girl, she was trying to kill. […]
