NM police fatally shoot crazed, knife-wielding man

How many times have you heard family-members or even, at times the media, make similar statements or ask this ridiculous question?
"But why couldn't they use Tasers? Or shoot him in the knee caps?"
This quote comes after police shot and killed a man who came at officers holding two-knives. He was a Vietnam Vet with a history of violence. He had military training and a documented dis-like and dis-regard for the police. Yet the officers are being questions for not being able to pull off a Hollywood "knee-capping". Remember, there are lots of folks out there who think the same way.
