the sad thing is, that many times civilian review boards have tried to hammer cops for shooting guys with knives.
ONe of the major cases happened in Miami, and they went to trial for the cops life. They were trying to execute him for shooting the guy. But he was smart and hired an " Knife expert " who told the judge that he could get to ANY cop, before they could draw and fire the weapon, from as far away as 21 feet.
He proved it in court, and the cop won. He eventually lost his job on a few other minor things about the case, but at least he did not go to jail, or die in the chair.
