I'm not sanguine about the officer going in with his gun drawn, but under the situation described if he had to enter, having his gun drawn makes sense. The question is, did he need to enter, but that brief article has insufficient info to say for certain, tho it looks like he did.

The knife guy had just left a Costco (or something) and the security tried to stop him for reasons that are unclear.  Knife guy put knife to his throat (this is all on video) and security gaurd backed off and the guy left the store.  Security guy calls cops.  The cops pull up in their car with the knife guy walking past them they start to get out as knife guy approaches, the driver is lunged at by knife guy, driver shoots him.

Like most of these, I don't know if the guy deserved to die, but I know what would have made him NOT dead.

Yeah, that's totally what we're saying Tony


(and "that one time they actually had a valid reason", that can't possibly mean what it seems to mean, can it?)

It seems to mean you think that this is the only time a cop has killed somebody this year for a valid reason.  Of course it can't mean that, perhaps I just read it wrong.  It happens.

Like you seem to think that disagreeing with BLM here means we don't care when cops kill for no reason.  Perhaps you're just reading us wrong?  It happens.

If this was the only time BLM did something like this you'd have a point.  But it happens a lot.  The argument that "it's a big organization with sh**tty or nonexistent leadership with a bunch of random loud moths regularly embarrassing them but the general purpose and overall goals of the group is a net good for society" is a much better angle than the one you seem to be taking.
