I agree but that's the point, the cops never let the guy with the knife closer than 21 ft, no one is jumping out and ambushing a cop with a knife, when the police deal with a knife it is some raving screaming mentally ill drunk in his house or on the street, they are always more of a threat to themselves than anyone else and the cops arrive to deal with it from more than 21 ft.
This girl with a kid and a job and no history of crime or violence, she doesn't suddenly become a zombie cop killer, there is no reason at all to believe if he had done something different, identified himself better, backed away from her, perhaps just not thought it was ok to shoot someone because they are holding a knife and didn't drop it quick enough (my personal guess) this wholly normal citizen would be alive today.
