I wouldn't be surprised if that (terminator) guy wasn't a cop at all. He certainly doesnt come off as being knowledgeable- not that being a LEO makes you knowledgeable (but in some minds it does) Fact is, the knife should be clipped to your pocket or somewhere- for fast access, or a fixed blade in a kydex sheath.
That is the entire point of having a "tactical knife"- so you can deploy it quickly in an emergency. Such as rescue, or self defense, or cutting a sandwich.

It is NOT tactical to fumble around in a pocket for your cutter when every second counts.

Another fact: I am not a LEO, but I know more about knives and knife laws than any LEO I have ever met. These guys on the average, are as sophisticated about their knives as the average construction worker. Which is to say- not very.
So when a self proclaimed LEO tells me I am more tactical with a slow deploying knife- I can recognize it as BS.

Thanks Rat, I was trying not to be too hard on him. I tried not to pull the I'm smarter than you stuff (about knives) but I deal with Law Enforcement (mostly State Police) a lot, and I give them utter respect for the thankless job they do, and with most they have a $500 - $600 pistol and a $10 knife. Most will wear them in the little pocket of their vests or clipped in their pockets so they can get to them when they need them. You know, where it makes sense to keep them.
