Just as it is tragic that it\u2019s a 13-year-old in Chicago. When police are chasing people, they don\u2019t know how old they are. And they don\u2019t run and say, \u2018How old are you?\u2019 \u2018Oh, I\u2019m 13.\u2019 You don\u2019t know that. Or, \u2018I\u2019m 16.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen they roll up on the scene, they see people tussling around. Someone has a knife,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd their job is to protect and serve. Every life on that scene. And if they see someone who is in the process of taking a life, what is that decision, what decision do they have to make?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To those who would say the officer should have used a taser, both Lemon and Cuomo agreed that a taser would likely not have worked at that distance and in that amount of time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTasers, they don\u2019t always connect. So, you\u2019ve got to get two prongs or what have you, and it has to connect to whatever,\u201d said Lemon. \u201cI see it, if the woman in the pink was my sister, niece, wife, whatever, you have to make a decision. Is one life on that scene more valuable than another? And if someone is trying to take a life, on that scene, do you protect the life of the person trying to take the life, or do you protect the life of the person who\u2019s life is in imminent danger at that point?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo and Lemon expressed sympathy for the officer and that he must live with the fact that he killed a 16-year-old girl to protect someone else.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel for the officer. You can hear it in his voice,\u201d said Cuomo. \u201cWhen he said \u2013 the man on the side was saying, \u2018You shot my baby, you shot my baby.\u2019 And he said, \u201cShe had a knife. She went right at her.\u201d You know, this is something that he\u2019s going to have to live with also.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo concluded that police are essential and that they do have to protect people at certain times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe analysis is only of the instant circumstances. I\u2019m saying, if you want to have this contextual conversation that people seem to want to have about what else we can do, people fight with knives all the time, do we really need cops?\u201d concluded Cuomo. \u201cThe answer is no, learn how to control your kids, and don\u2019t be so violent and we won\u2019t need cops. But that\u2019s not our reality. And cops get called to our lives all the time for the worst situations.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"6.8048780487805\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Don Lemon handled the Columbus shooting more responsibly than the Biden White House <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uHpG84Cdm7\">pic.twitter.com\/uHpG84Cdm7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Will Chamberlain (@willchamberlain) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/willchamberlain\/status\/1385066870215266304?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/lebron-responds-after-his-youre-next-tweet-with-pic-of-cop-who-saved-girl-does-not-apologize\">LeBron Responds After His \u2018You\u2019re Next\u2019 Tweet With Pic Of Cop Who Saved Girl, Does Not\u00a0Apologize<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
