Oh yeah, given the state of the decrepit, disabled old man in a wheelchair "wielding" this "deadly weapon", this was totally pepper spray and taser-worthy.

Menacing caregivers with a knife is not how to win friends and influence people.

Bad decision, but not surprising.
That facility needs to review and revise it’s plan of action on what staff should do in such situations, before calling the police and expecting them to manage it for you.
Everyone involved is in need of retraining.

Its called plastic utensils. The care home could just adopt that policy for meal utensils.

Everything is illegal in the UK, except breathing, so any use of force is justified.

I’m not a martial arts expert but, if a 92 yr old one legged man in a wheel chair threatened me with a knife I’d just turn around and leave his room shutting the door behind me.

Remember that in the UK, the knife is the equivalent of a big scary automatic assault rifle
