I haven't been able to watch the video and because of an AC power cord issue have had to resort to using the old laptop.I am somewhat familiar with the story but haven't seen a video report of it.All I can say is that when it comes to issues like this, I am careful to be critical of them because there is so much information that we do not know, even though there is a video clip of it. Those of us not there are missing a large amount of information. Also, we are also given the luxury of 20/20 hindsight vision.But with what I do know, there appears to be some dispute over what type of knife the man had - today I read a report it was a hunting knife and wondered if it is the type with the short, but very sharp lock style blade. Hope this doesn't sound like a pass, but like I said, too much information is left out: what was the man saying, if anything? What was he doing prior to the tape rolling? Do those involved have information of his history? Did they see something that wasn't portrayed clearly in the video? Things like that. This is why there is a need for thorough and complete investigations.
