    a pair of men were fighting in a park when one pulled out a knife. Witnesses reportedly told the station that the men appeared “startled” by the massive police response, and that the men were fired upon by “numerous officers.”

    That seems like a completely normal and reasonable response 🤡

      We did it! Two guys were fighting, one had a knife, and we stopped that guy from murdering this guy.

      Well yeah, it’s not they were on top of a building with a rifle while an ex-president is giving a speech. This was an actually dangerous situation that required a large response.

      They reacted appropriately, clearly.
