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?
What if the cop shoots him in the foot but he still keeps coming, which is possible...
You don't shoot to minimize damage, you shoot to save your life or someone elses.
There is a risk that you can't fully immobilize the person, I'd prefer not to take the chance if someone is coming at me with the expressed purpose to kill me.

if 12 trained officers cant stop a mentally ill patent armed with scissors without killing him i dont wanna be around when a real problem arises
If the police aren't allowed to use guns on a person threatening their life, I don't want to be around now.

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?
If you're trying to avoid risk, might want to reconsider that headshot, and shoot him in center of mass like you're supposed to.

Cops did the right thing. Moral of story: Don't come at cops with a weapon, period.

yep
if the cops come up to you the best thing you can do is to just lie on pretend to be dead and dont move
anything can be taken as an aggressive action and they can shoot you dead right then

Don't be an idiot and threaten someone's life if you don't want shot. I'd have done the same thing.
