"Cops are on a killing spree all over the nation if you ask me."

I agree. Pretty soon, they'll probably target patriots.

“There are lots of ways to take a person down without killing them”.
None that are quite as reliable.
Sorry, man with a knife is a lethal threat.
Problem resolved, gene pool cleansed.

Perhaps you could provide some of your personal experiences in taking down knife wielding drunks and submit them to the LAPD for implementation.

Listen folks, no police officer is ever going to ask you to deal with the above assailant with something inadequate to the task, why ask the police to do the same?

If you are standing next to JOE and this nutbag with the knife starts to advance on him, with the clear intent of stabbing him, do you as a citizen have a clearly defined duty to save JOE, or is your own self preservation your primary concern? Are you required to draw your concealed firearm and engage said dirtbag?

No.

Can you think about it and then walk away?

Yes, twould be truly crappy, but absolutely justified.

A police officer on the other hand has a duty to immediately deal with said knife wielder and if time only allows the use of a firearm to deal with him, then that’s the answer.
