I heard "drop it now" at the start of the first video when I first watched it despite believing he was confirmed to be unarmed. Also sounds like a female yelling "put it down"on current review. Of course could be a case of hearing what you think you hear given how hard it is to discern any of it.
But, the man who shot the video said as much despite saying he didn't see a knife.

Neither videos are clear but there is a couple frames people (blue lives matter...) have identified as showing an object. It could also be unfortunate ghosting of his hand due to video quality.
Of course for the union the'll claim that the smoking gun is...well the knife. A knife on floor of a vehicle and three kids in it would be odd to say the least unless it was planted.
If only the police could place cameras on their bodies somehow.
