Right before Blake gets to the drivers side door, the closest officer does look like he's trying to grab Blake.
But that officer already had his gun drawn before he closed.  Tactically that's stupid. A wrestling match where one party already has a gun out pretty much has to end in shots. 

Was any attempt made to tackle him before he starts to walk around his car?

Let's not pretend you know what should or shouldn't happen here--tactically speaking. If he had a knife, as was suggested by them yelling as much, then you don't holster your weapon.

Thanks for letting me know. I see it now.
It's either two or three cops, struggling on the ground with the one suspect.
That suspect should have never gotten up without handcuffs on.
then after he gets up, he just casually walks by an officer who has his gun drawn, that officer doesn't do anything.
If the cops had done their job right, he would still be alive.

He'll go watch the time stamp, then come back with some song and dance about how they didn't actually tackle him or he wouldn't be able to get up and walk to his car. Or he'll get into a semantics argument about the definition of tackle.

Go easy man. Not everyone does this stuff for a living. There are other things I have to do with my day in order to earn money

It's easy for someone that's never struggled to handcuff a non-compliant person to say how it should have happened. Believe it or not, sometimes they're able to get out of your control even when you do it right. Besides, if he had a knife, you don't want to struggle with him on the ground anyway. Is he alive if the cops did their "job right" or is he alive if he didn't reach into a vehicle after fighting the police? If we're going to blame someone, blame the person that decided to stupidly reach into a vehicle when cops are pointing guns at him. I don't suppose it matters to you because you have a narrative you're trying to create.
