The knife vs gun scenario is not disputed. The police didn’t make that up. It’s broadly accepted by combat experts. Self defense classes, firearms classes, and knife combat classes will tell you the same thing, and it’s easy to demonstrate.

This is what it looks like even when the officer knows it is coming: https://youtu.be/2h0-q_IJbxE

It's only disputed by reality:

> And yet I've seen police officers here in Europe deal with people with knives without ever pulling a gun. Why can we do this and you can't?

"Combat experts" must hate these European police, not abiding by their theories.
