That she was a teenager in the middle of an altercation, in which she was presumed to be defending herself, did not matter. She continues, “According to these viewers, Nicholas Reardon, the police officer who immediately shot and killed Bryant, who was holding a knife, was justified. “After watching 15 seconds of police body camera footage last week, viewers of various races and political affiliations had made a decision: 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant was ‘the aggressor’ - the ‘fat,’ ‘huge,’ ‘knife-wielding attacker’ and ‘maniac’ who deserved to be fatally shot by the police on April 20 in Columbus, Ohio,” reads the opening paragraph of Cineas’ article. They made it sound like it was another police officer overreacting and killing a young black American,” Simpson said.īut he encouraged James to continue speaking out about injustices.Just recently, James took to Twitter to promote an article published on Vox, written by the site’s “race reporter” Fabiola Cineas, titled “ Why they’re not saying Ma’Khia Bryant’s name.” In the article, Cineas attempts to explain why Bryant “could never be the ‘perfect victim” (shout outs to The Daily Wire’s Ian Haworth for bringing this to our attention). I am so desperate for more ACCOUNTABILITY. it’s about the entire system and they always use our words to create more racism. I took the tweet down because its being used to create more hate -This isn’t about one officer. “I’m a little upset with most of the media who showed us edited versions of what took place with the girl with the knife. I’m so damn tired of seeing Black people killed by police.
