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

exactly, they gave him multiple warnings to stand down, he didn't and he approached them with the knife so yeah he was a threat

others may have been unlawfully killed by police, but here in this scenario they had to shoot to kill
