If you don't shoot center mass you stand a good chance of missing, we all know most street cops can't shoot very good, BUT that is also not the point.
What if it didn"t stop him, he did knife a police officer in the neck, the office dies, go tell that police officer's family you are sorry, you wanted to just Wound this person.
Come on Guys, this is Apples and Oranges of the ruling a couple weeks ago.
Yes AMP, if the knife was over 3" someone posted it IS illegal.
There was a reason the cops were Called, they did not just happen upon this guy!
The multiple firing, showed that the cops all made the SAME decision based on the traing they had. You have a brief second to make a life or death decision, not pull straws on who is going to shoot him.

To me it's about using a bit more force than what was needed... one cop and 3 rounds could have done it, they didn't need multiple cops, let alone multiple rounds.
Hitting a target with your weapon already on target - depending on distance of course, is like making sure your urine hits the urinal when you take a piss. Gota be pretty far away to miss a urinal, or drunk.
Now if they have some odd ball 3 shot center mass rule, that's sad. They should be protecting the people, if he isn't putting people into danger and yet is willing to put himself into danger, his head is wired on wrong - not everyone deserves to die, cops are trained to notice this - clearly these cops need more training.
