Original Note:
Use of the term "gardening tool," while not factually false, is misleading. The officer describes Gainer holding a scythe: a long, sharp blade attached to (in this case) a 5-foot poll. The officer attempted to retreat as Gainer charged him with the potentially lethal tool. https://abc7.com/amp/deputy-involved-shooting-autism-apple-valley-ryan-gainer/14515552/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scythe
