My impression from watching a lot of videos of cops that BLM complains about is that the quality of cops has gone up a lot over my lifetime. Here’s an objective metric: what percentage of bullets fired by cops strike the target vs. missing or hitting some bystander?
On the campaign trail last year, Joe Biden called for cops to shoot unarmed attackers with a knife only in the leg. On the cowboy TV shows that Joe watched in the 1950s, the hero was always shooting the gun out of the hand of the desperado, so in Joe’s mind, shooting an attacker in the leg ought to be easy.

It happened in a matter of seconds.
On Tuesday, in Columbus, Ohio, a police officer fatally shot Ma’Khia Bryant, a 16-year-old Black girl.
Body-camera footage shows Officer Nicholas Reardon, who was responding to a 911 call, arriving at a chaotic scene, with several people engaged in a heated fight, outside Ms. Bryant’s foster home.
As the officer gets out of his vehicle, Ms. Bryant is seen lunging at a woman with what appears to be a knife in her hand. Then, seconds later, in the frenzy and chaos, she lunges at another woman.
