IMHO, those describing the perp as sluggish seemingly ain't watched the video. Lotta fat guys like that down here, the fact that hog lard is the #1 ingredient in most all Tex-Mex being a likely contributing factor.

Its also come out in the news today also that the perp had just previous to the filmed sequence attacked one of the responding deputies with the knife but had been blocked by a shield device the deputy had. To the point that bystanders were wondering why they had not shot the perp sooner.

IIRC the perp had prior arrests for assault including on a campus police officer.

Seems like the two deputies will rightfully receive a pass on this one, sounds to me like they might even deserve a commendation.
