Sounds like folks are second guessing the cop by talking about *ideal* on-the-mat aikido. How many times have you, IN the dojo, gone to do kotegaishe and done it perfectly--made the grab so it secured the knife AND got all the slack out AND had full extension AND used uke as a shield etc...? Seems to me that in a real life situation, which means who knows what attack, signaled or not in who knows what manner, the cop did darn well in recovering from first try and HAVING a second chance, then nailing it.
