We don't know whether he was a threat to them or not (though he was clearly a threat not long before). There's just the assumption by some that law enforcement must be lying.

"Every time I see a big truck... I immediately think they're out to get me"

"Felt like the beginning of a war"

"I see a civil war right around the corner. That shot felt like the beginning of a war"

Donovan Farley, the freelance journalist who conducted the interview, said that Mr. Reinoehl had expressed unease about surrendering to law enforcement and feared he would die in custody. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/04/us/portland-shooting-michael-reinoehl.html

Frankly... I can't ignore the possibility that the guy we saw in the shooting video and the interview might not also have been willing to shoot it out with law enforcement.
