I don't know. Maybe Brits are different. Our crazies don't really seem to be more of a threat to themselves...

Have I ever said there are no circumstances ever that a policeman should use their gun? no, I'm just saying that like the first video you show, the one where the guy is shouting clearly 'kill me' as he does his level best to get the cops to kill him as he is going through some kind of crisis and best guess isn't actually prepared to hurt anyone but himself, that is the vast majority of situations cops deal with, I doubt that out of every knife wielding 'perp' the cops deal with maybe one out of a hundred actually wants to kill anyone but themselves, which is why no cops get killed with knives, the people they are dealing with overwhelmingly aren't actually trying to kill them.
Oh and the first guy that 'cut the officers throat' well the officer suffered 'minor injuries' the guy could have killed him, could have stabbed him, cut his throat but what he did was scratch him, like I said most knife wielding suspects are looking to hurt themselves.
