She wasn't killed because police were there for a wellness check, she was killed because of the knife. Full stop. Now if the argument is you don't believe the police due to the current climate then I'll grant you that and we can wait for the independent investigation to take place. But if what the police say happened is actually what happened then this appears to be a good shot.
And yet in Finland I can't recall a single incident ever where someone was shot dead while threatening a police officer with a knife.

Funny how that goes. Almost as if it's not actually necessary.
