Ma’Khia Bryant had a knife, and she was a fraction of a second from plunging it into an unnamed black woman dressed in a pink sweatsuit.

She died shortly thereafter as the neighborhood around the foster home where she lived began to boil at the scene, with profanity-laced epithets hurled at Reardon and other law enforcement officers as they attempted to save her life.
