A Huntington Beach, California Police Shooting.

I received this information re: an officer involved shooting that's been partially videoed  by an innocent bystander. The confrontation allegedly started prior to the videoing of the incident.

According to the information given, A Huntington Beach Police Officer encounters a subject at a local 7-11 store in Huntington Beach, CA and during the encounter a fight ensues between the two. The officer and the subject somehow go to the ground.

The bystander who videoed the remainder of the encounter was waiting for someone else in a parked car in the store's parking lot. He/she started videoing the ground encounter on his/her cell phone.

In the initial footage of the video it's apparent to me anyways that the officer is trying to gain control of the subject's arms. The officer is on top of the subject and appears to have one of the subject's wrists somewhat restrained while trying to gain control of the other one. The subject who is on the ground, on his back beneath the officer appears to remove something from the officer's duty belt with his right hand. The subject also appears to look at it and appears to show it to the officer. It even appears the subject tries to employ whatever he removed from the officer's duty belt against him. At the 014-017 mark in the video the officer appears to recognize a threat from the subject and the object removed and disengages himself from the ground fighting. The officer pushes the subject's head away and stands up, drawing his sidearm as he stands.

Once the officer is standing and has his sidearm drawn he appears to step away from the subject all the while giving the subject verbal commands.The subject appears to ignore the officer's commands, stands up and starts towards the officer with the object in his right hand... the subject even looks at the object.

With his sidearm pointed at the subject the officer gives the subject more verbal commands as the subject continues towards him, closing to well within fifteen feet of the officer. The officer eventually employs lethal force and subsequently neutralized the perceived threat.

The six million dollar question is what did the bad guy take out of the officer's duty belt?!

I'm thinking it was a knife or at least the officer thought it was a knife.
