“always remember the 20 foot knife rule.”

Seems as if the cops forgot the rule; they got up right next to him and one officer was even holding on to the guy’s shirt during the shooting.

I'd like to hear the police officer who shot him explain his reasoning for do it. Did he think the perp was trying to drive away? Did he think he saw a gun? ...

Hear ya. Am looking for a good switchblade myself. In my dotage I’m getting too lazy to open a kinfe with two hands.

That’s two libtard excuses debunked. They did try non-lethal force first and he did have a weapon.

female caller reported that her boyfriend was present and was not supposed to be on the premises

Girlfriend, not wife.

All four simultaneously drew their weapons. That tells you some big danger was up.

Cops are always expendable, aren’t they?

We don’t know what was said by Blake or the police in those last few moments. Was there any threats made? That might have impacted the situation.

This is a good site on knife laws.

https://knifeup.com/knife-laws/

Many states alllow a switch blade or perhaps assisted opening folders now. Many, but not all, prohibit stilettos and/or blades that come straight out of a hilt or handle. It is as complex as other weapon laws.

I like assisted flippers as long as the locks keep working. Don’t want a super sharp flipper coming open in my front pocket. Look up Ken Onion’s stuff. Inexpensive but servicable if you check the locks.
