Just to add an extra point why things were tense about this last night :
"Columbus Police Shoot And Kill Black, Teenage Girl" from NPR - no mention of knife until 8 paragraphs in.
"Ohio police fatally shoot Black teenage girl just before Chauvin verdict" from WaPo, no knife til second paragraph.
"This never should have happened’: Mother of 16-year-old killed in police shooting wants answers" local CBS news from an 'Emmy award winning reporter'. Knife appeared once in the article and it's a lot about police brutality and racial injustice.
Non-tabloid shit media was framing this as another unjust killing for 90% of people who don't read the articles. If Chauvin wasn't convicted, articles like that could have sparked burning and looting in Ohio.

I don't think that UK tabloids count as "news". And since when did we start taking the main steam media as gospel?
Last I knew they were all out to create clickbait, the more outrageous the better. That's partially why we're in such a stupid mess as we are.
To be honest I don't know the situation at hand (to reiterate, that article was biased shit) so I can't really say much more than I have.
This is an outlier and shouldn't be held up to justify other recent actions.
