He is getting information and getting prepared in his head while driving there. This is very important.
So could the police have de-escalated? Could he have charged the girl with the knife, risking more stabs to both the pinned girl and himself? Is it even fair to analyze like this?

11 seconds. I watched the video. It was 11 seconds from when the police officer closed his door after arriving on scene to the kid with the knife getting shot.
