Officer Dain Jones was out with his wife and friends walking on the sidewalk in downtown Seattle. He noticed a man bump into a trashcan, raise a knife in the air, and then run down the street. Dain yelled for someone to call 911 and ran after the man. He caught the man in a parking lot and pinned him down on the ground. Dain held his gun over the man, waiting for the police to arrive.
When two cruisers pulled into the parking lot, Dain raised his hands in the air because he knew of other plain-clothes officers who had been shot when the police mistook them for the bad guy.
