Faris says the shooting was unfortunate, but appeared to be appropriate because Knox felt an imminent threat to his life.

LEO pulls the old man over for simple expired tags, never sees a rifle, yet shoots the man saying he feared for his life?
Uh, yeah.
A rifle is pretty hard to swing from a vehicle to “On target”.
Does the camera show him delivering an order to stop?
If you walk up on the guy and shine a light in the vehicle on approach and inspect the cab wouldn’t you see a cane?
Maybe it was an AR-15 walking stick, with a magazine attached.
Did the officer demand he exit the vehicle for some reason?
Was the officer high on something? Tired?
Dumb as hell?
Heck, I once pulled my Mom over for driving with Jesus stickers on her front bumper.
Soon as she figured out it was me she came right out of the car and the officer I was with offered to mace me for the prank if she wanted it done.
Was pretty dang’d funny.
I walked up on plenty of vehicles as a “Sheriff Explorer” learning how to approach and ascertain safety.
This seems stupid and very flawed judgement...
Yet the Dunn guy got convicted of attempted murder for essentially the same thing.
It worked for Michael Dunn.
If you think that the cops are shooting a lot of people after seeing imaginary guns, just wait until the use of marijuana is legalized. It[marijuana legalization] is coming because the government knows that dopers make the best slaves.
