We don’t know what was said, did he threaten them verbally?
“I will kill you pigs” Given what we know, a statement as simple as that , and Blake’s actions that followed (not showing his hands, reaching into his for????) in the heat of battle would escalate this to what happened.
Believe it or not, carrying a knife which you’re asked to drop, and then walking to your car and saying “I will kill you pigs” is not, in fact, good justification to shoot someone in the back seven times!

Crazy, I know.
