And law enforcement training will also show that a knife wielding man can charge and kill someone within 50ft, EVEN while being shot himself, as adrenaline could keep him alive for that amount of time.
Secondly, the man in Philly was walking around with the knife, so not only were the officers a threat, so was the general public, as he was walking all around, and completely ignoring their commands. If they had not acted, and he harmed or killed someone else.....well, you know the rest of the story.
