This is the kind of case that makes me want to find a cop and beat the living snot out of him. Tyranny. Sheer tyranny. Grabing for his knife. He can own a knife. He can carry it. Wrong place wrong time and bully fatass donut-munchers on a power trip take over.
Then they make it worse by trying to cover their asses and get a confession before he dies. We should fry the cop who did that, knowing full well that as a result of the instant karma gained by our actions somewhere out there a kitten would smile.
Pigs.
