Indianapolis. According to videographer dude was tased multiple times prior to being shot for charging at officer with a knife. *WARNING: A few swear words.

Officers are dealing with resisting driver, when passenger reaches out the window and tries to yank a gun out of a holster. They are lucky to be alive... Unnecessary escalation on their part that could have earned one of them a bullet in the ass.

This is how fast knife attacks happen. Suicide by cop, but look how close this was including the officer toppling over backwards.

Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

Ive said it before....walking backwards to make distance when you should be shooting isn't going to win you any awards.
I'm super uncoordinated - I can trip on air pockets on the best of days - trying to run backwards while being charged by a knife-wielding attacker would definitely end up with me on my butt.
This is an interesting training point, though. We have, for years, trained folks to move laterally off the "X," instead of running backwards, just circling away from the line of approach. That might not have been possible here (looks like a wall to the officer's left, and active traffic to the right). Is this the "Kobiashi Maru" of knife responses? Doesn't look like any good answer - standing and shooting would likely have ended up with a carved up officer...
