Not fishing for a debate here on the actions of the officer, or the perpetrator...but I've not seen many clips that so clearly illustrate the dangers of an attacker armed with a knife vs. an intended victim armed with a handgun. Personally, I think the officer did the right things: he kept in the fight, fought for distance and the opportunity to draw while trying to protect vital areas, took cover, and made sure the threat was no longer there before taking further action. Key point: this fight became "hand to hand" before the officer had a chance to fire.

I often hear folks say, "I carry a gun, I don't need to know how to fight"...this officer may have avoided serious injury or death because he did fight; at least in my opinion.
