That's correct, that's basically what took place. I wrote in a previous post, Cops don't key on race nearly as much as they key on stupidity. Walking away from the Police armed with a knife and ignoring the police and attempting to flee the scene is dumb.

It's one thing to shoot an unarmed person and a different scenario to shoot an armed person, they lose all sympathy from me when they go out and destroy property and people's lives that are totally outside the scope of the shooting.
