No hatred for cops. But murder should not have been the first option here. For example, staying in the patrol car, shooting for the legs aso. This was completely unnecessary force.

I don't know what planet you're from, but the guy wasn't murdered; he had a knife and was threatening a cop. They had every right to shoot him. You seem to belong to a group that supports criminals no matter what.

    Or how about tasers do not not bring people down who are high on meth or otherwise seriously determined to do harm, or for a myriad of other reasons. Ineffective 30-40% of the time, no matter the trai

Getting sillier with every post- maybe the police should have left and done back for a coffee and cake break and left him to it.

So you have a nut job coming at you with a knife. The taser has failed to put him down so in the split second you have to react the leg shot with the greater risk of missing your target is your chosen option and thus he stabs you. Only one real nut job in your scenario is you. The police absolutely did the right thing and it’s not murder it’s self defence.
