Any person, black or white, having a mental breakdown holding a knife IS a threat. It is amazing how, a mentally dysfunctional person finds all sorts of adrenaline and can overtake anyone attempting to subdue them. It is a very scary situation and I will never believe this guy "wasn't much of a threat".
