Why the Police shoot guys with knives

Seen on Facebook


Like a lot of people I think that in the past 20 years or so the Police have become overly aggressive in how they deal with the general population but then you see something like this and you realize that sometimes (not always but sometimes) there is a valid reason.    The write up under this picture mentions the 21 foot rule - here is a video with some pretty vivid demonstrations (a clarification though 21 feet is the minimum safe distance in which an officer can probably react, not the maximum distance at which the won't be able too).
