I read you loud and clear.
Now change this a little though to where I’m standing in one place begging you to shoot me.
Oh wait. You’d shoot me wouldn’t you?
No, friend, armed with a knife and less than 21 feet, and advancing- pretty equal odds of both cop and perp being wounded/killed.
Tueller drill....pretty well defined lethal force equation.
So you were there and you know what happened? Nah. You weren’t.
But Yes. You come - at me - with a knife after I have told you dozens of times to stop and I’m going to kill you. And yes, that makes me very sad and I don’t think it’s funny.
