CNN anchors offer no pushback on police vilification, description of Columbus shooting as 'schoolyard fight'

Two of CNN's more outspoken liberal news anchors didn't push back on guests who harshly spoke out against police on Wednesday, including one who described the situation leading to the shooting death of Columbus teenager Ma'Khia Bryant as a "schoolyard fight."

Civil rights attorney Cornell Brooks told CNN's Jake Tapper Tuesday the question had to be asked if it was appropriate for the officer to shoot Bryant given the situation, which he described as merely a "schoolyard fight." "What if were your daughter? ... In essentially a teenage fight, a schoolyard fight," he said. "Certainly, the facts will emerge, but we are right to ask, 'Why can't we put the accent on preserving life, childen's lives,' as opposed to simply assuming, the best we can do is simply kill another child."
