Woodcarver Shot by Police

For those that somehow missed that case, Seattle Police Officer Ian Birk fatally shot Williams four-times in the side after he supposedly wouldn't drop his three-inch carving knife he used to make small totem poles. Later, it was learned that the folding knife Birk was so concerned about was found still closed on the ground after the shooting.

The witness account is pretty daming.
