And this is why I won't judge the cops and let the DA sort it out. Video is not always conclusive, and I believe this is a good example of that.Maybe I misunderstood the video.
Looked to me like he was turning around and headed towards the ground before they shot at him.
And yes, little knives. I say this to point out the fact that he had 3 rifles trained on him at close range and he was a long ways away from the nearest cop holding knives with zero reach. There was no real threat.
