The initial reaction (before bodycam video) of course was to label this cop a murderer.  A lot of assumptions were made, and a lot of judgement passed.  Then the video is released.  That cop may very well have saved that other girl's life.  

Outside of letting the other girl get stabbed I really don't see a single viable option the officer had other than he one he took.

This is exactly why body cams are so important, both for the public and the police. They are objective proof( generally speaking) in a world of assumptions and preconceived beliefs/ biases.
