Good God, that is a horrifying looking knife, like the claws of those Cassowary birds that can gut you with one swipe.

or a long key fob

And they said he was "reaching" for a knife on the floor of the drivers side of the vehicle

Why would he do that if supposedly he had one in his hand already?

Systemic racism is there to see, if you have an open mind and are not blinded by partisanship.
Appears Rittenhouse walked away with his arms up. LE ignored him while they sped to the scene of “ shots fired”.

Reportedly, kid was arrested at an apartment complex in Antioch, Il where he lived. Nothing suggests he resisted.

There are no good outcomes when one defies Police orders and resists. Not the time or the place.

Speculation Blake and the officer who shot him were experiencing extreme adrenaline at the point of contact. Neither thought their day was going to wind up as it did.

Blake’s mother has been pleading for calm for days. When will she realizes the mayhem that ensued has nothing to do with her son?

He may have dropped the knife from his hand onto the floor of the car.

That's because he was the one who called it in, he called the cops and reported that he shot someone and was running to the cops for their protection from the mob of terrorists. Because of that communication, the cops knew that he wasn't a danger to them, he was the one in danger.

He wasn't initially arrested at the scene because there was really nothing to arrest him for, it was a pretty clear case of self defense. After that, the Democrat DA decided to file frivolous charges so the kid turned himself in.

It's too grainy to tell for sure, while that could be the knife, it could also just be the keys. Either way, it doesn't matter because we know a knife was recovered from the driver's side floorboard and Blake admitted to being armed with a knife

The police officers struggling with Blake suddenly stepped back and drew their firearms. As Black walked around the vehicle, police are shouting at Blake to drop the knife. At this moment in the video, Blake appears to be holding a knife with a curved blade. Blake reaches inside his vehicle and is shot 7 times. A knife was found on the floorboard.

Yeah, the fact they're charging the kid for "fleeing the state to avoid prosecution" is the tell-tale sign the DA is reaching. No, he "fled the state" because he went home after nobody showed any interest in taking him into custody. You'd think if he were "fleeing the state to avoid prosecution" he'd have gone a little further than two miles across the state line to the first place authorities would think to look for him.
