I am not sure what else the police were to do with a guy advancing with a knife yelling "kill me".
Feel free to offer suggestions and outline your background in dealing with persons with a knife at 15 feet.

Not fire 10 shots in a relatively crowded area at a suspect with obvious mental instability?
Can cops not move backwards? There are two of them, neither can use less lethal means?
Is it justifiable to just shoot someone when the job becomes difficult?
Nah, let's just empty our magazines into this guy, he is scary. Another justifiable shooting to be investigated internally.
One unstable guy with a knife vs. 2 guns, 2 batons, 2 tazers, 2 pepper sprays and two police officers trained in subduing armed and unarmed perps, with a vehicle, in broad daylight surrounded by civilians.
Nope, shoot him 8 or 10 times, because I gave him an order and he didn't comply.
