While it is extraordinarily uncommon for someone to defend a police officer in today’s climate, a neighbor with home-surveillance video of the Ma’Khia Bryant shooting seemed to do just that.
In an exclusive Fox News interview, Donavon Brinson said the Ohio police officer “reacted with what he thought was his best judgement.”
While Brinson did not witness the incident himself, he reviewed the surveillance footage captured from his home, which is located across the street from where the events took place.
The new footage provides a different perspective and angle on the incident.
“The video doesn’t lie,” he said. The police officer “did what he thought was best” in the split-second moment.
As reported by Human Events News, 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant called 911 for assistance after a group of girls allegedly threatened her.
“We need a police officer here now,” a girl is heard telling an operator in one recording, as yelling is heard in the background. “We got these grown girls over here, trying to fight us.”
Body camera footage showed the teen attacking two other people with what appeared to be a knife.
On video, Bryant can he heard screaming, “I’m going to stab the f*** out of you, b****.”
As the altercation escalated, the officer drew his weapon and fired four shots. An officer can later be heard saying: “she had a knife, she just went at her.”
“This never should have happened,” the teen’s mother, Paula Bryant, said. “She’s a loving girl.”
Brinson said that the officer didn’t have much of a choice since he “only had seconds to respond.”
“From my point of view watching this, unfortunately, the whole scenario put him in a bad spot regardless of what the situation was,” he said.
“He could have either not fired and the young lady in pink could have got stabbed in the neck or would have been fatally injured and then responded and shot and that would have been two young ladies possibly dead, or he could have responded the way that he did and unfortunately one lady lost her life in the incident that probably could have been avoided,” he added.
Brunson also said he wasn’t sure what the fight was about, but noted that when he and his wife returned from lunch, they came across a “young lady in pink and another young lady out front exchanging words.”
“We didn’t think too much about it, but they were very, very loud. You could tell they were upset about something,” he continued.

Another emotionally driven, immediate gratification African American entitlement raised human incapable of Self-Governing her emotions gets suicide by Cop because emotionally clouded brain could not process that you never bring a knife to a gunfight. Nature does have a way of culling out stupidity which begins in the mind not the color of skin.
What gets me, is we’ve seen DOZENS of leftists mouthpieces talk about Makhia, but not ONE HAS EVEN SPOKEN TO the girl she tried to KILL with that knife…
In the Democrat Negro community, it does NOT matter the justification of a police officer killing a Negro criminal.
It is all about their hate and their desire to riot and loot.
Note the hate, Lies and disrespect that the Democrat Party and their propaganda media is promoting.
It is all about control, total control.
The Dishonorable, Democrat Party in the U.S. game plan is to lie, cheat and steal elections
in order to control the American people and bring American commerce and economy to its knees.
Then access power and retain it by any means available –
no matter the costs to the people, the government or the nation.
IT could have even been a FELLOW BLACK, that was the cop.. THEY WOULD STILL be ranting and raving that the “cops are out to murder us all”..
Fact: The police officer did the right thing. Secondly, the perpetrator was a typical foul mouthed liberal. Fact: There is one less criminal in the world.
Does anyone on here remember their knife fights from their teenage years? There is no defense for someone swinging a big blade around with hurting somebody as their focus.
Shall we now ban all knives or instigate a 30 day waiting period, background checks, and the Red Flag procedures??
THEY DO so already in the UK….
I hear switch blades are one of the most ICE confiscated items taken off illegals crossing the border for freebees. It’s another West Side Story but not just the Upper West side but the enitire city of New York and country that has now become a total warfront with the Democrats playing the Sharks and the working middle class whites the Jets ,and when the liberal music ends playing there is nothing but Death on both sides and women crying for their lost men who they eitrher ran off for a welfare check or got murdered defending stubborn pride and a misguided loyalty to the gang or party of theives whose safety they placed over their own individual selves,,, with Hunter Biden playing the part of a defunded Police Officer Krumpke, down on his knees, give him a buck and he’ll do a striptease.
Let’s sue the knife manufacturers.
I drove drunk. Let’s sue Bud for making me drunk, and Toyota for allowing me to drive drunk in their vehicle..
Am I the only one who has asked the question why the neighbor just happened to have the camera aimed directly at that house? Could it be because there were a lot of incidents there in the past? I know a Camera can pan out everything, but it just so happens that it is exactly aimed at that house. Coincidence?
It’s a security camera, I’ve got one as countless of others, it’s for watching out for any nefarious acts. It’s a crying shame we have to resort having cameras to watch over our neighborhoods. As you can see, in this case, it captured the exact incident, vindicating the Officer’s actions. Imagine if you will, no camera viewing this shooting, no body camera, what do you think would’ve happened. Especially with the likes of ambulance chasing lawyers, Al Sharkton, spewing out vitriol against the police. Let’s take it further, had there been a security camera viewing Tawana Brawley and her fabrication of her crime, where would the Shark be today?
I am sure had a video of that incident existed, AL and his leftist cronies in the Dept of injustice, would have ensured it “accidentally got erased”…
And NO chazooo….. I don’t particularly remember knife flights from when I was a kid. But then in the 60s, we would use fists get an a huge fight, it was only one on one, and then after the fight, the winner would always buy the loser a beer and we would shake hands and be friends. None of this for on four, or four on one with grandma standing there watching and a guy kicking a girl in the face. That was never part of the equation
I’m the same vintage and remember it exactly as you say. Sometimes we even put on gloves. As one of my favorite authors, James Lee Burke” said in one of his novels, “I have long believed that my generation is a transitional one and will be the last to remember what we refer to as traditional America…”
Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever, but we remember the best of it.
I remember those fisticuffs.. PITY i was usually on the losing end of those fights.
So the cop made a decision to take out the attacker rather than let the attacker take out another girl and lord knows how many more… It had nothing to do with white cop shooting another black person…
It doesn’t matter to the likes of race baiters like Sharpton, Jackson, and the rest of their ilk. Black on black killings don’t matter, they can’t get worked up or make money with that. Only a white killing a black gives them a platform to preach their racist ****, and makes them money.
As i said elsewhere THEY WOULD BE outraged still, HAD HE Let malkhi kill that other girl, ‘FOR NOT doing anything to protect another black woman”.
SO hes damned if he did, damned if he didn;t.
What is it about blacks that makes them continue their malfeasance when a cop arrives on the scene and disobey simple orders “Drop it!” “Lie down!” that would leave everyone alive? A little soul-searching should occur in the black community as to how they raise or do not raise their kids instead of the useless blame-whitey chant that only gets more blacks killed by other blacks.
No cop wants to shoot anyone and now it’s been made career ending no matter how justified.
“This never should have happened,” the teen’s mother, Paula Bryant, said. “She’s a loving girl.” That coming from the person who had 16 years to teach the “loving girl” that stabbing another person, unless in self defense, is not right, we see way too many incidences where the cop gets the blame for the parents failure to teach their own kids, robbing, looting, killing, carjacking, stabbing, shooting and running from police is not the right thing to do. Much has been said by the black community, that all these cops are just racist and too many blacks are killed by cops, FACT, the statistics DO NOT BEAR THAT OUT, remember someone is keeping track, of this stuff, your lies are easily disproved. Parents failure to instill values in their own children is more at play here than racism. The claim that only the blacks get killed by cops, is a flat out lie, could it be they are only interested in political gamesmanship, not taking responsibility for their own failures. Any death is a tragedy, one that could have been prevented by proper upbringing, is a double tragedy.
Parents teaching their kid?? IF ANYTHING they probably TAUGHT her to ‘solve her problems with a knife or gun!
No matter if the incident is justified or not, those who wish to loot, burn, destroy will use the “race” card to hide their actual intent. Of course blm will use this to make a few more millions for the founders
Just another excuse to loot, burn, destroy and make millions more for the founders of blm
These days they riot, just CAUSE… No reason needed.
Why is no one talking about how the police officer first tries to help the girl that got shoved to the ground, before Bryant turned on the girl in the pink track suit, as the officer sees Bryant move to his left, with her knife raised and screaming she is going to stab pink track suit girl, he swings his gun around as a grown man starts kicking the girl on the ground in the head.
I have one question. What it it about grown black men stomping on women’s heads?
I also notice, NOT ONE MEDIA outlet has interviewed the gal who’s life got SAVED by the cop.
There’s also not a lot of coverage that happened the day before also in Ohio. Two black 13 year old girls got into a fist fight and one of them pulled a pocket knife out and stabbed the other girl in the neck. She died from the injury. Wonder why…..
BECAUSE that was black on black.. SO ‘who cares’.
