that also happens all the time in the US. Not every knife incident in the U.S. results in a shooting death of the attacker. and if YOU were U.S. police you would use your gun against a knife attacker if you could.<p>what do you think is on the mind of somebody with a knife? There&#x27;s no reason to believe they want to do anything but kill you or someone else. And no reason to believe they&#x27;ll stop at one person now or that they won&#x27;t do it again. Knife fighting is a good way to get killed.<p>Bottom line, you don&#x27;t know it until you&#x27;re in the shit or you&#x27;re close to somebody in it.  Ever been on a ride along? I&#x27;m guessing you haven&#x27;t and you sit at home complaining about police without learning anything about it.
