Short version:
Eligon allegedly walked to a convenience store, snatched two pairs of scissors and left without paying, the store clerk’s hand was cut.
The officers lined the street, walking backwards away from Eligon as he approached them with the sharp edges of the scissors.
one officer backed up into a parked vehicle causing the gap between him and Eligon to “shrink†to about three metres.
That’s when officers allegedly heard Eligon say “one of you is going to die.â€
Scott concluded the subject officer had “reasonable grounds†to fear for his life when he opened fire.
How stupid are humans?

if someone is running at me head on screaming that they're going to kill me (if this really happened) i am going to shoot that profanity square in the head. Why would i risk any thing else?

running???
if they got time to GO BACKWARDS, there is enough time to shoot him in the leg. besides, two bullets out of three missed, lol? must have been a thin person 
But yeah, that insane being walking with "weapons" towards already dangerous US cops, well, something like that can't be saved anyway.

the dude was obviously crazy.
what if he had a bomb strapped to him and they shot him in the foot 3 meters from them and he set it off?

I don't have much have much sympathy for anyone coming at a cop with a weapon. Would have been idea to Taze or Mace em or something but...
Police officers are not trained to wound people. They are trained to shoot to kill. Cuts down on law suits for one thing.

------“How did Mr. Eligon elope from the hospital? Should front line officers receive different training to deal with these situations? Should they be issued CEWs (conducted energy weapons)?†Scott wondered.------

I think we can all agree one of the first things you learn as a kid is running with scissors is dangerous.
