“Not ganging up at all. Cops used excessive force.”
He already stabbed one man and is threating to throw a large knife at the officers. You are one of those that say shoot him in the arm.
Actually I did not say what I would do, I only said the cops used excessive force. Yes, he stabbed someone and was trying to stump away. CCW holders can’t shoot someone who might throw a knife at them, neither should cops be allowed that privilege.
A badge should not be looked at as a license to kill. He was not going to escape, and they had not exhausted all options, nor while being confronted by at least five cops did he present a danger to the public. Excessive force, pure and simple.

No, get behind cover or out-distance him until you can bring a less-lethal weapon (tazer, bean-bag rounds) into play.
