I'm from New Zealand, our police shoot people with knives occasionally. I'm not convinced this would have ended differently here, or any other country.
A knife is an incredibly dangerous weapon, and the alternative solutions being proposed here just aren't realistic.
The man catcher poles thing was pretty funny though.
Do they also shoot anybody else in the vicinity, though?
We've never had a similar situation to compare to.
Definitely there has to be a good reason for it.
