> Despite the police having their guns drawn and their repeated orders for him to put down the knife and hit the ground, Blake raced around the front of the car, heading to the driver’s door. The police kept yelling at him to stop, but he ignored them. One officer even grabbed Blake to keep him from reaching into the car. > Despite the officers’ guns and their loud and physical efforts to stop him, Blake opened the door and bent into the car. At that point, one or more officers open fire. And that’s where the misinformation starts. > Even Tucker Carlson, who’s right about 99% of the time, got this one wrong, stating, “So the question is, did Blake have a gun in the car? That is the central question.” > No. That’s not the central question or even a question. The central question is whether the officers, at that time (not in hindsight), reasonably believed that, when he reached into the car, Blake constituted an imminent threat to them or anyone else in the vicinity.
