Original Note:
The “elderly” professor had a deadly weapon, a sword, on him. The police officer has drawn a gun forcing him to drop the weapon and put it away once „the professor“ followed this order. The use of weapon was obviously correct and legal. https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/basic-principles-use-force-and-firearms-law-enforcement https://www.police.uci.edu/how-do-i/use-of-force.php https://www.justice.gov/jm/1-16000-department-justice-policy-use-force https://post.ca.gov/Portals/0/post_docs/publications/Use_Of_Force_Standards_Guidelines.pdf
