Hard to tell he has a knife, but doesn't change much. Pretty justified, though I wonder if it's normal procedure for police to exit the cruiser with guns already drawn for simple shoplifting? Did he brandish the knife when he stole the 2 cans of soda? Seems extreme, but again don't have a problem with their use of force in the end. Just think exiting the car with guns already drawn may have escalated the situation.

He was in aggressive posturing when they arrived and had a hand concealed in a pocket. I don't know many who wouldn't have had guns drawn when they got out in that situation.
