The incident caused a national uproar with many criticizing the officer for choosing to use deadly force instead of attempting to defuse the situation.<\/p>\n<p>However, a video was released shortly after the incident, showing Bryant lunging at two other women with a knife.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-manchin-defends-opposition-to-eliminating-filibuster\/\">Sen.
