nOmesorah -“Was he the subject of the call?”
A family member called 911 asking for help with this fellow.
“And did the police know who he was?”
It’s irrevelant.
“He seems to be holding an open pocket knife in his hand on the way to the car. A bit confusing.”
It seems either you’re the One that’s Confused or Your trying to confuse e/o in the CR.
When s/o calls 911 & police respond – they evaluate the situation.
They found a Guy carrying a Knife (doesn’t matter the size).
They ordered him to Drop the Knife. He didn’t. He proceded to open the car & then was shot.
IMHO, they should have shot him right away – when he Didn’t Listen to the Lawful Order of “Drop the Knife”!
