Please go educate yourself about deadly force encounters, and get back to me after you have gained at least a working knowledge on the subject. Until then, it's impossible to have a reasonable discussion with you on the subject. Thanks.
Here man, this will get you started. https://www.guns.com/news/2012/01/17...th-an-attacker

The police could have easily and safely neutralized that kid with non-lethal weaponry. The problem is that many police in the US have little interest in deploying non-lethal force.
Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

Was there a trial?
Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
You are assuming they had less lethal implements at their disposal. Not every cop in every agency carries a Taser. Not every cop carries a shotgun with rubber bullets. Most cops don't carry shotguns at all anymore, which really is unfortunate. If the subject was on PCP, there is a good chance those would not have had the desired effect, anyway.
Tasers, OC, Rubber bullets... they aren't magic wands that work on everybody all the time. There is no "easy" way to take down a subject on PCP.

This is not intended to be a smartass question, so please be kind. Did the dead man's autopsy show he was indeed on PCP?
From what I saw, the officer in question stood over the downed man and emptied his mag into the man. So, he was already down. We cannot see if he still had the knife in hand.
