He was having a really bad day and I wonder if he planned to harm himself with the knife. Transgenders have a very high suicide rate. I wish the cops had used a taser... and if he was suicidal, then using a cop to aid him in his attempt is going to scar the cop for life.

Even worse would have been if the cop had used a taser (non-lethal weapon) against this man with a knife (lethal weapon) and the cop was then killed by him. That would be much worse.
