“If the guy was approaching the cops,...”
You’re right about the replay. In the third paragraph of the thread, it stated he got out of the car but it didn’t say anything about his moving away from it and approaching the officers. Just that he got out of the car and that he had the knife and they ordered him to drop it. If he did approach one or more of the officers, yes, he’s a threat. But it only said he got out of the car and was given the order right before they opened fire with nothing to add to the mix. If that’s the case, they shot someone just standing there with a knife. No threat. Misuse of lethal.

This reminds me of a Youtube video I watched recently of a gay man that jumped from a Cruise Ship balcony after being accused of photographing kids. The man’s husband claimed the crew was throwing homophobic slurs at him and that a fight occurred where he was pushed over the rail of the room balcony. The crew claimed the man was being a drama queen and took things too far. The video shows he was either forced to let go of his grip of the life boat he was clinging from or he refused help and was avoiding the helping hand. It was ruled a suicide.
