Not sure it matters if the guy held a knife before or not. Doesn't justify what they did even if he was brandishing it.
That's not what I mean. There's a good chance the cops planted knives in the victim's car to justify their use of deadly force. They already lied about basic stuff that happened during the traffic stop, so it would be foolish to take their word about any evidence they "found."
Gotcha... point was that even if they try that shit, it still shouldn't be enough to let the cop go free
