I'm no big fan of police, but this was yet another instance of the cop showing a massive amount of restraint. Too much, in fact.
It's really frustrating when even behaving in an overly restrained fashion, and getting stabbed in the face for your trouble, still isn't enough to avoid the "racist murderer" label.
Only thing the officer did wrong was not shoot her(?) sooner. And I don't say that because I want people to die, I say that because she was coming at him with a knife. You put yourself in a position where other people have to defend themselves from you...that's on you. She chose to behave in a way that turned her into a person in need of shooting.
"Yeah, but why didn't the cop just shoot the knife/legs?" - actual retard
"It was the cop's fault for coming up to the door with a gun drawn, all threateningly like that."
"He could have tried de-escalating the situation first!"
"He should have used his taser or baton!"
"de-escalate" has pretty much always meant "let the subhumans murder you."
de-escalation only works when the person you're talking to is at least somewhat receptive. immediately opening the door and swinging a knife is not being receptive, so of course de-escalation goes out the window.
