Margarito Lopez was suffering a mental health crisis

That sounds so innocent and civil..I prefer realistic descriptions like, raging violent lunatic with a knife.

When in close proximity... a crazy man with a knife is every bit as dangerous as a crazy man with a handgun.

Sounds like a pretty smart family, able to kill 2 birds with one stone.

Eliminate the family whack job and get millions for doing it. Not bad. Hats off.

FReepers- look up the Tueller Drill: A knife wielding suspect 21 feet away can lunge and stab or kill you even if your firearm is at high ready.

Other comments: Lotsa yelling by multiple cops; no attempt at de-escalation or one one one communication by a calm and collected officer. Bolo wraps or a Force Science course - huh, what’s that? No deployment of long range less than lethal devices. Result? Big bucks payoff for nut boy’s family and lifelong mental second guessing for the cops who fired the shots.
