Of course not, You just tazed him right
Now that's funny right there. Lol

I don't blame him.
Just kidding.
But seriously, pulling a gun is always the last option period.
Now that's funny right there. Lol
Some might think that you were looking for an opportunity to display your weapon.
If you are man enough to flip someone the bird you damned well be man enough to back it up without pulling your weapon. If not, take your ass whipping and be a good boy next time.
Those takers work, lol....I actually volunteered to be hit with one once...I don't know what was wrong with me.
He wasn't attacked. The man yelled and moved, on foot, toward his vehicle. The knife was pulled after OP pulled his handgun, according to the OP.So based on the opinions here, if I were to flip someone the bird and they then decide to attack me, I have no right to defend myself? What kind of bullshit is that? It is just a finger... If that is enough to provoke someone, they have what's coming to them.
LOLLol...during a traffic stop I recently conducted, a kid was riding by on his bicycle on the other side of the vehicle. As he passed, he yelled out "fu**ing pig."

Was working as the primary medic on an MICU one day in the past, when we got a Priority 1 call to a local police training academy. Got there to find one of the trainees that had "volunteered" to take a taser shot llying on the ground in real distress. Cardiac rhythm was messed up.... he had wet him self and was more embarrassed about that, I think, than anything else. Got up (with assistance) only to do a face plant on the mats. Needless to say, he got the ride, the IV, etc.
Nope... not something I'd voluntarily undergo at any time...
UPDATE: Spoke to the detective to day, as his gf did freak out and call the cops apparently. And he said very clearly, that if the guy did run up to my car and pull a knife I was well within my means to pull my firearm to defend my well being. So to all you know-it-alls who wanted to be judge and executioner(TXivestigator), you were wrong! The video will clearly show him run up to my car and pull a knife, and I will be exonerated for defending myself. Thank you to all who sympathized and defended my action, because we were right! God bless Texas.
But literally as soon as I had retrieved the gun and looked back at him to show him he already had a knife in his hand.

Get your story straight. You said you got your gun before you saw the knife, then you said you got your gun because he was running up to you with a knife. Your words have branded you a liar.

Flipping someone off is as good as saying, "ok, let's go." You just invited the guy into a fight.
If you call someone out, do you have the right to defend yourself? Hell, no. You flipped them off. That shows me that you WANTED to fight.
...keep the finger stowed unless you actually want to fight.
If is a keyword on what you supposedly were told. And IF this so called video ever emerges, it would have to show a knife. It will prob be some grainy ass video and he could claim he had a cell phone for all we know. TXI, nor anyone on here wouldn't side with you just out of pity. So if that's what your looking for, sorry. You wanted input and you were given it. Dont cry about not hearing what you hoped you would hear. If it really went down the way you say it did in the OP, and it could be proven as so, I think you will not like the outcome. I think your leaning to the "video" as not being able to show your wielding a gun and only showing him with a knife...that would only help you out of this jam you pretty much created.UPDATE: Spoke to the detective to day, as his gf did freak out and call the cops apparently.

That's horseshit and you know it...
... This guy said he went for his gun BEFORE he saw a knife. ...
I heard the the cop is a wife beating closet drug addict, but then someone else told me they heard the cop infiltrated the department to help a drug cartel. Who really knowsI don't think he told the cops that. It's possible he might have, and the cops told him to keep it to himself, or the cop might have said I don't fault you for anything you did.
Flipping the bird isn't a challenge to fight? That's news to me.
If it's horseshit, than how can you be sited under PC 42.01(a)(2) for flipping someone off?
Sec. 42.01. DISORDERLY CONDUCT. (a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly:
(1) uses abusive, indecent, profane, or vulgar language in a public place, and the language by its very utterance tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace;
(2) makes an offensive gesture or display in a public place, and the gesture or display tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace;
I think you're missing the point, once you make the gesture, (particularly on the timeframe of this discussion) you now can dispute who was or was not the aggressor. Because it is all subjective, and based off of the perception of you and others observing the confrontation.It still doesn't justify a physical attack nor does it prevent someone from defending against the same.
Your interpretation of the law is not only incorrect, it is out of context. Claiming that someone is justified in responding with lethal force because of a hand gesture is bullshit and you know it!
