If I shot someone eight times and claimed he'd lunged at me with a 'utility knife' (box cutter?), I'd be very suprised if more didn't happen to me than getting rewarded with a couple of weeks of paid time off.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. My wife was there in the parking lot. She didn't see what happened before he got shot, but looked over when she heard the shots. There were two officers there at the scene. Both of them got shots at this guy.
I am normally very supportive of our law enforcement officers, but if two of them can't figure out how to disarm a small, drunk guy with a box cutter without shooting him eight times; we are in trouble.
