Ten years ago I was involved in an incident with a person (paroled violent convict) who ran into my car and another person's car. He was driving a stolen car when he rammed into me and the other person. Then after that stolen car was disabled, he stole another one and led local police on a long car chase.

After he overturned his car in a cornfield, he staggered out with a knife in his hand. He then saw four police officers pointing their guns at him telling him repeatedly to put the knife down and surrender. This was recorded on tape. The moron decided it was a good idea to charge the cops. He ended up severely ventilated and quite dead.

Cops don't know what weapons some people might have on them. A charging person might knock a cop down and then pull out a knife and kill the cop. Or take the cop's gun and shoot him. It has happened.
