How on God's green flat earth could this be possible. I'm assuming in both scenarios the suspect has only a knife - the person 10 feet away standing up can close the distance and kill you before you even unholster (in fact
that distance is 21 feet). The person in the car has to open the door and get out.
I must not be understanding this correctly.
So we have no idea if she had the knife above her charging full speed at the officer, but we've seen videos in this country of what police do when men or women are holding knives in a non-threatening manner. Maybe he killed this woman Chauvin-style in cold blood, but my immediate reaction when reading this story is not that the police chief is lying.
