October
26, 1993, a Fairfax cop shot and killed Jesus B. Arreaga, in a stairwell at the
Meadow Woods apartment complex, because the cops saw the handle of knife
Arreaga had in his waistband, mistook it for a gun and shot him. Because as we all know, a knife handle looks
almost exactly like a gun handle. I
think we can suspend reality and agree on that for a moment.
