For a guy with "police" training, I am surprised you don't know this.
Knife enounters are LETHAL FORCE encounters. There is no other response, unless certain conditions are met, to use a lesser option, like a taser.
In addition, tasers are not always effective, nor accurate and are simply are poor choice when faced with death or grievous bodily harm.
