Wallace's aunt, who identified herself only as Sandy, told Fox News that her nephew had recently gotten married and had several children, ages 5, 7 and 8.
"He was turning his life around," she said. "They could have talked to him and calmed him down because I'm quite sure that's part of their training."
Rodney Everett, Wallace's uncle, said the officers could have used other tactics to de-escalate the situation.

Paging Benny Crump!
Why didn't your son not charge a cop with a knife? And why don't I lock you in a cage with a guy with a knife and give you a Taser and a gun, and see which one you use?
"He was turning his life around," she said. "They could have talked to him and calmed him down because I'm quite sure that's part of their training."
Yes, it's a little known fact that Obi-Wan Kenobi actually survived his encounter with Darth Vader and now travels around the country training police departments in the Jedi mind trick.
And if attempting to murder cops with a knife was "turning his life around," I'd hate to think of what he was doing before.
ALSO #4: someone who is turning his life around :)
18 PRIOR Arrests for assault including 6 against the police.
well, the recidivism will stop at 18.5 I guess.
Did the family call or was it a neighbor? Whoever it was, after the fact they all tell the press he wasn’t dangerous, he could be talked down.
If he was so easy to deal with, why call the cops in the first place?

Here's the video: Man with knife takes out several police officers in seconds. Action starts at the 1:30 mark.
I say they should drag him out of the morgue and shoot him again.
Probably so...
Maybe Walter should have had "the conversation" with his parents. You know the one, "Mom and Dad, no matter how whacked I get, even if I'm high on crack and swinging a knife at y'all. Please, just stay calm and don't call the cops!"
Crump is already involved. It seems families with thug children always have him on speed dial.
WHO called the cops????
Family members???
HOW come THEY didn’t talk him down’????
His mother was there and couldn’t deescalate the situation.
Mama tried to raise me better but her pleadings I denied. So there’s only me to blame cause mama tried.
“”people of a certain ethnic persuasion feel they don’t have to follow the same laws and rules that everyone else does.””
Thanks to a certain occupant of OUR White House beginning 12 years ago who encouraged and emboldened them. “We Didn’t Light the Fire.”
“He was turning his knife around...” yeah, in the direction of the LEO.
