The officers got to go home to their families at the end of their shift, unlike the victim, I mean suspect, which is all that matters.

Do Milford police carry tasers? pepper spray? Batons? Can two guys take on one guy without resulting to the use of deadly force? What would happen to you or me if we shot a guy with a knife and killed him?
I bet your tune would be different if it was "you" the knife was coming after ?
Delete8:38, why don't you try rushing 2 armed people in a hallway with a knife. Let us all know how that turned out for you.
