Didn't we just wittness ( TV ) something like this ??..Austin Police Officer, videoed..running backwards, away from an attacker, who was charging him...
I know there is probaly more to the story than what most of us saw via, KXAN ...over and over again !
The only thing I know and saw, was the violent rush on the Officer, to get at him !
I can't imagine what would have happened to the young Officer, if the suspect had gotten his hands on him ?!
It's scary, even for an Officer of the law.
Your senario might vary !
