Muffled voices can be heard in the clip, though their exact exchange is difficult to decipher. Deputy Chief Rohan Griffith said in a late Sunday press conference that cops repeatedly demanded that the man drop the knife.

“Knife inside 20 feet is a deadly threat. Don’t drop it and get shot.”

Yes, that’s something worth knowing. But the Tueller Drill assumes that the good guy has either no weapon or a holstered weapon.

I will have to admit there is quite a bit of difference a Marine Presidential Security Forces vet and two like girls who graduated from a DEI police academy.
