After watching the full thing on rumble, it looks to me like the guy was doing his usual “anti racist virtue signal” by tackling the good samaritan that was restraining the knife wielder to show off to the female police. Unfortunately for him, this time it massively blew up into his face, and neck.
(Or maybe he was hoping the asset would finish the job but the asset came after him instead.)
There would be a lot of high quality underemployed devs at the moment drifting around because DEI keeps them from being employed or promoted. Lots of quality people would also be looking to jump ship from places like Ubisoft which is infested with rot.
