Birk had no reason to stop the man PERIOD
That may or may not be true..but we haven’t heard from the Officer as to what his reason for the stop was.
We have only heard what the local media is SAYING the reason was....and we all know how accurate the media are.
I’m witholding judgement til I have all the facts.
As a person who has had a knife pulled on him at arms length....I can tell you, it takes so little time you will have your handgun drawn and the incident over before your body can even react and your heart to start pumping faster.
