As usual these type of cases are never cut and dry.
Is it unusual for tourists to be carrying a weapon for self defence? would an american whos used to carrying a firearm on themselves for self defence feel a knife is out of the norm?
The whole situation seems pretty shady. No doubt they were probably drunk/high already, one they found out they got conned they wanted to take the law into their own hands.
If the police really were working with the guy as a police informant, were they going there impartially? they went undercover in plain clothes but had no weapons.
The americans say they were attacked first, and then used the knife for self defence.
It all depends on who is telling the truth. Did the American lose control and attack them first fearing he'd be in trouble? Did they attack him trying to teach them a lesson, then ended up messing with a guy with a big knife and no defence themselves?
I suspect it's probably a mixture of both. They'll never defeat the word of a police offer though in their home country. Whether they're innocent or guilty, they were destined to be in this mess.
