Yes, I know the cop told him to drop the axe and he didn't do it. But it's irrelevant. The cop's report will cite the 21 foot rule, which he gamed so he could claim there was a threat.
If he was really a threat it would have been legal to shoot him from 50 feet away. The cop was too lazy to do the work it would have taken to take him alive.
It doesn't mean he could have legally shot without gaming the 21 foot rule.
