No, that's a police response justified by a man with a knife who posed a threat that was deemed to meet their standard for use of lethal force. You may disagree with that conclusion, but that's not a what if. A what if is saying "what if he had a bomb?" when there is absolutely no basis to believe he had a bomb.
