Ammi, someone who is repeatedly asked to drop a knife he is carrying that continues to advance toward the police is a last resort scenario.
I fully respect that people are unlawfully killed by police in america and they should be held accountable, but the reporting of this event doesn't suggest that is applicable in this case
