These are stills from the multiple body cams.
First, you can clearly see that after he resisted arrest and ran, he turns around and faces the officers. It's hard to tell cause the image quality is shit, but all three officers claimed he had a knife that he pulled out of his right pants pocket. The picture also reveals he wasn't shot in the back, but in the left side of his body.

So, the guy resisted arrest, ran, stops and turns towards the officers with a knife. That's why he was shot. I agree that I didn't hear him say he was going to cut them, but you pull a knife, you're gonna get shot. Guy was an idiot. On top of that he had multiple warrants including felony aggravated assault.
