I try to stay out of the knife rights thing. As far as I'm concerned most of the arguments too closely parallel gun rights and there just isn't going to be any useful ground between the pro and anti sides in either case because all the arguments are rooted in absolutes and platitudes.
A knife is a more general-purpose tool than a gun. I'd have more sympathy with the officer in this case if it had been a drunk man waving a gun around.
Mistakes happen. If guns are involved, mistakes are more likely to have fatal outcomes.
