If you bothered to learn the whole story, you would know that earlier he had threatened to murder the officers if they gave him any more commands.
What does the location of the police murders by a knife wielding lunatic matter? It clearly demonstrates that police who hesitate to fire on suspects brandishing knives are likely to end up dead. Google the 21 foot rule if you wish to be informed.
A lot. Do you really believe those Nicaraguan "officers" received the same training that a typical U.S. LEO receives regardless of agency location? Puhleese! And did you notice that the "officers" formed a circle around the perp so that when they finally started shooting, other "officers" were in the line of fire? Yep, these boys were really well-trained.

I did. It appears the "21 foot rule" applies to an officer facing a knife-wielding subject when the officer's GUN IS HOLSTERED. Let me repeat that for you. The "21 foot rule" applies to a situation where an officer is facing a knife-wielding subject when the officer's GUN IS HOLSTERED!
That is not the situation here: Multiple LEOs, armed with both lethal and non-lethal force trained on the perp and a police dog to boot.
So who is uninformed?
