That gets into what if territory. What if the cops didn't show up maybe she would have calmed down and nothing happened. Maybe she would have hurt someone else. Maybe the cop could have tasered her no harm done. Maybe he misses and she stabs him. Maybe she stabs him and he shoots her. Maybe the cop got trigger happy and shot for little or no reason.
Most likely IMO. Cops show up she brandishes a knife in a threatening manner (open to interpretation) gets shot.
edit - I wanted to add that police far too often appear to show no regard for human life. I can only speculate as to why but I've seen it so many times. People are clearly in distress but the officer doesn't care they are content to keep the person in that position when CLEARLY they are in severe distress, even dying. There is something very wrong going on here. Probably should post this in that other thread but...
