Nashville police release bodycam video of officer shooting man with 2 butcher knives during traffic stop

Nashville police released body camera footage Saturday showing an officer fatally shoot a man who charged at him with two butcher knives during a traffic stop about a potentially stolen vehicle.

"No officer wants to encounter these types of situations. It's always the unknown when we respond to calls and he did everything he could. He retreated. He ordered him to put the knives down," Drake said. "This appears to be possibly justified. We'll find out once the investigation moves forward but officers are put in these situations, and it's unfortunate." Drake also rejected the notion Royer should have used a Taser to deescalate the situation, telling reporters an officer "can't use a less lethal [force] if someone is attacking you with a knife."
