Columbus police shooting prompts media pundits to offer 'TV-inspired nonsense' on police tactics
Fox News
The police shooting of Black teenager Ma'Khia Bryant in Columbus, Ohio, this week prompted discredited media takes that the officer could have aimed at her limbs or even fired in the air rather than use lethal force.
In spite of the video showing the woman about to be stabbed, liberal co-host of "The View" Joy Behar wondered why the officer who killed Bryant didn't "shoot the gun in the air." "He said the cop had no choice ... and my feeling is I don’t know if that’s true or not," Behar said. "I really can’t figure it out anymore ... I’ve looked at the tape and I still can’t figure it out. Shoot the gun in the air, warning, tase a person, shoot them in the leg, shoot them in the behind. Stop them somehow. But if the only solution is to kill a teenager, there’s something wrong with this."More Related News
