The point is that the cops were there and actually saw the situation and decided that he wasn't putting anyone in deadly harm. So they tazered him and tackled him instead of shooting him.
I think if this was in Ferguson, they would see the knife and just think "hey, free pass to kill a bad guy" and pull the trigger. |

I get your point, my point is that isn't always for the best.

Maybe you didn't see the incident where Ferguson cops did exactly that with a guy who had a knife and was standing nowhere near them or anyone else. He didn't drop the knife so they killed him.
No attempt to use less than lethal force. |
