What's this?

But it's the dozens of paragraphs about the cops just shot her for no

Reason and they are just out here to kill black people. And one paragraph vaguely dismissing reports that the girl was attacking another person with the knife.
You are right that she may not have been a threat to the cop.... But she may have been a pretty serious threat to kill someone else.... May have even been actively trying to do that.
You may disagree on this, but I believe if a cop comes up to someone trying to stab them, it justifies the use of ready force to save the other person's life.
Again, it could be that they rolled up as the family says, didn't say a word and just started shooting her after she put the knife down. I know it's not a popular position to take, but I would like to see all the facts before I mark this down as "another Innocent black person killed for no reason". But I get that we are not supposed to do that. We just have to be outraged.
