I imagine (though I don't know for sure) that they are much like a c-train which is pretty straightforward. Will be interesting to see what comes of this.

A poster previously mentioned that they could have feared he was going to throw the knife. I don't know why they wouldn't have backed off then. I hate playing armchair quarterback because its frankly not fair however the optics of this do not look good. If he was going to throw the knife or charge the officer then I can understand the first three rounds fired. The following six rounds fired, when the suspect appeared to be prone (police officer lowered the level of his pistol) is what really concerns me. I frankly do not see how those rounds fired could be justified.
