I’m from New Zealand, our police shoot people with knives occasionally. I’m not convinced this would have ended differently here, or any other country.

The man catcher poles thing was pretty funny though.
Mhm, I think they must be 100% sure somebody is in actual danger though? They can’t just try and shoot somebody who has an alleged knife right?
