The only reason for my position, is i would have liked to see the officer try and retreat a little faster until he had more help with him. he knew they were on their way and there was plenty of space behind him. Do i think him backing up would have changed the outcome? No, thats why i think its a good shoot but i would have liked to see him try at least. then again i wasnt there and dont know what led up to that or what other information the officer had so i will not sit here and armchair quarterback and criticize the cop for the decision he was forced to make.
the wife/gf was on the steps directly behind him. He was also in an unfamiliar environment - trying to "retreat" out of unfamiliar place with a woman sitting on the steps behind you all while keeping your eye on someone with a knife advancing upon your person...
