You see a man with a knife, do you just get a gun and shoot him? "Something prevented", although not dead incident.

If a knife wielding individual is screaming, acting erratic, and menacing my neighborhood a single shot to the shoulder. knee, arm. leg will stop him without killing him. Then again a single head shot would save the court and imprisonment costs.
What do you suggest they do, invite him to lunch and ask him nicely to surrender?
Pay him a stipend to surrender?
Or maybe have more people get injured or killed while using little to no force to subdue him?
Or are you saying they arrested the wrong knife wielding man in the area where an elderly woman had her head cut off?
Yes, we Americans are so barbaric!
