let's be fair, though. you can go to any town, in any country in the world, and identify police officers on sight. and people yelling in aggressive tones is fairly clear in any language, if one takes the situation into account. there is also the demonstration of throwing his own knife down to consider. even with dementia, one would have a hard time not noticing them. of course, the cops could only have seen the knife, and went into... defense mode, where everyone is seen as a possible aggressor. and the best defense is one you don't have to get close to the blade to use. that edge has no care for what it touches, it simply parts the molecules as best it can.
