Yeesh people act like it's the cops job to give this guy a hug and a blanket and help him calm down. You don't take chances when someone has a knife and they are within lunging distance of you.

But why are the cops even on the bus. Wait him out, get a negotiator, use tear gas. Why put yourself at risk in a position to be attacked by a guy weilding a knife forcing you to shoot him.
To me shooting wasnt the issue, getting into the situation where te officer felt the need to shoot was problem
