I dont envy their job at all.
Don't be fucking stupid, a single stab would does not kill unless it get a certain parts of the body. The copper had a choice to go for his taser or his gun, he had a choice of shooting once in the body which would have certainly stopped the attacked and saved both lives. Instead he went for his gun and not just once but 4 times. I have no doubt he carried on shooting after she was falling down or even on the floor.
In any case who knows how much mentally disturbed this woman was and how little she had from the authorities. This is what defunding the police is about. it is about diverting funds back into the community projects to help the vulnerable people so it does not get to this.
You are so young, you need to learn to drill into facts and see the real picture rather than just spaff out what ever comes into your mind first.

This is what I call action and it is all due to BLM taking a stand. There are people who take action even though they know it will hurt their own lives to help humanity. Colin Rand Kaepernick is one such man. Without his first taking the knee all this would not have happened.
Same thing happened in 1968. During their medal ceremony in the Olympic Stadium in Mexico City on October 16, 1968, two African-American athletes, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, each raised a black-gloved fist during the playing of the US national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner". While on the podium, Smith and Carlos, who had won gold and bronze medals respectively in the 200-meter running event of the 1968 Summer Olympics, turned to face the US flag and then kept their hands raised until the anthem had finished. In addition, Smith, Carlos, and Australian silver medalist Peter Norman all wore human-rights badges on their jackets.
And again it happened back in 1965 when MLK marched with from Selma to Montgomery. And I have no doubt there were people before them too. They stood for good, they were and are the real heroes of Humanity. These actions will not only help black people it will help all also help all other people who are suffering.
Here is another one.
