Original Note:
As seen in bodycam footage of the incident, Ma'Khia Bryant appeared to lunge towards another person with a knife as the officer arrived. Due to the danger of grappling someone with a knife, shooting might have been the only way for an officer to prevent murder or great harm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeIX5DgxQI4
