1. Exactly. There were three cops on the scene. That's enough...

manpower right there to physically subdue one man (I don't buy the knife bit either, much too convenient, seems an attempt to justify the shooting. And rogue cops have been known to plant weapons near or on victims).

All three of the cops had their guns out in their hand, ready I guess, to shoot, when they should have been seeking to de-escalate the situation, a concept that always seems to elude shooter cops.

It's time to get physical cowards off police forces all over the country. If your only response in confrontations on the job (and Blake didn't even confront them. He was walking away from them), if your only response is to shoot, you need to be in another field. In this shooter cop's case it'll have to wait until after he gets out of jail though.

The other two who stood by, we'll see what happens as they had no control over what the cowardly, rogue shooter was going to do.
