I only mentioned Floyd death because no one seems to want to do major protests when it comes to how mental health patients are treated in Canada.
Edit: They definitely went in guns blazing. There is a video of it. And besides, during wellness checks, there is a separate department that handles it, the police has no place to even be there.

If the taser didn't work and the guy had a knife, it didn't look like they had a lot of choice. Looks like they were kind of trapped on a balcony with no place to safely retreat.
We've all seen a lot of videos of police acting inappropriately. This video doesn't look like a clear case of that since we can't even see the guy they killed, but we can see the police had nowhere to go if he was indeed coming toward them with a knife.
What would you have them do in this case?
