COLUMBUS, Ohio – Body camera footage from other officers released Wednesday in the fatal police shooting of Ma’Khia Bryant, a Black teenager who charged at two people with a knife, showed a chaotic scene that happened within minutes of the verdict in George Floyd’s killing and ignited outrage by many over the continued use of lethal force by police in Columbus and the U.S.
Officials with the Columbus Division of Police had released initial footage of the shooting Tuesday night just hours after it happened, which was a departure from protocol as the force faces immense scrutiny from the public following a series of recent high-profile police killings that have led to clashes.

Ma’Khia Bryant’s cousins remembered the Black teenager fatally shot by police in Ohio as “a good student, a good person” whose life was unnecessarily cut short by “disproportionate and unjustified use of force.”
“As a family we are all saddened by the tragic and unnecessary death of Ma’Khia,” cousins Don Bryant and Deja Torrence said in a public appeal for justice. “She was loved by many… We want to remind everyone Ma’Khia was only a 16 year old teenage girl.”
Ma’Khia’s mother, Paula, in an interview Thursday said her “beautiful baby” has been “taken from me.”

The
New York Times, ever ready to stir up racial anger, tried to conflate Tuesday’s verdict of murder in the case of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin with a story of a nearly simultaneous police confrontation in Ohio: “Police Shooting in Columbus Leaves Black Girl, 15, Dead.”
The irresponsible
Times filtered the footage-confirmed facts through its own warped ideological lens. Reporters Neil Vigdor and Brian Pietsch began:
A teenage girl who
the police say threatened two girls with a knife was fatally shot by an officer in Columbus, Ohio, on Tuesday afternoon, shortly before a jury reached a guilty verdict in the murder trial of the former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in last year’s killing of George Floyd.
