I find it hard to believe that if the police found a weapon in the car that they would be sitting on that information.
Knife or keys, it doesn’t matter. He resisted arrest and ignored police commands and “REACHED” into his vehicle.
At that point, it doesn’t matter whether there was a weapon in the car or not. The officer need not find out by DYING!.
No, it wouldn’t , Karambits are better utilized in a reverse grip, stick to faucets, man.
The “knife” doesn’t matter. He “REACHED” into the car. THAT’S what got him SHOT, knife or no knife.
Split second decision here. I already believe he has a knife in his hand, so what is he reaching into the car for? ANOTHER knife or a GUN?
Actually the photo shows the finger grips just like I said. Look at the photo again. I accept you apology.
When he resisted arrest, he forfeited his rights
The knife in his hand looks EXACTLY like that.
Actually you are somewhat correct. The knife is held BOTH ways. “TRAINED” users would use it as you described.
What are the chances this guy was “TRAINED” in the use of this knife? or would he hold it like a plumber?
AND.... maybe it was just “KEYS”. Is there a proper way to hold keys? For defense I mean. /s
Naw, I’m not somewhat correct, I am trained in blade arts.

IF he had a knife it certainly DOES indeed matter. The question is why the police haven’t stated he had a knife.
Bad photo. But looks like car keys to me.
If he had a knife, he probably would have tried to use it.
It’s a curved blade knife called a karambit. My kids recognized it right away from their video games.
“ “Even assuming the guy was carrying a knife why was it necessary to put seven rounds in him?”
You’ve never had military combat training, have you? I was taught that if you face a mortal threat you keep firing until the threat is neutralized. If that means emptying your magazine into the threat, you do it.”

Hey brother, not only have I had combat training I have been under fire in combat several times. Served in Vietnam 1965 - 1966, central highlands, military police, supported 5th Special Group.
“ Stupid is strong here today!”
Stupid is as stupid does. The cop Totally lost it. Fired seven shots from three feet away and didn’t even kill him. That’s bad.
What are you are criminal coddler?
/s
What happened last nite was far more interesting than the police shooting
Cracker fought back and won
“ Are you familiar with the Tueller drill?”
**********
Yes
Agree...Who knows. What is obvious is that he wasn’t getting into the car but reaching into it. Maybe the cop had seen a gun on the seat BEFORE this later sequence of events.
It is called a ‘GUTTING KNIFE”.
He isn’t dead-—he is paralyzed. waist down.
Maybe that will end his domestic violence actions.
