This is a clear cut case of shit police work. If you can't subdue a 17 year old girl, knife weilding or not, you have absolutely no business being a cop.
There is a risk in being a police officer that each one takes on when they are sworn in. You run a risk of getting cut by some crazy bitch and that doesn't give you the right to shoot them. It's difficult to kill or seriously wound a person with a knife (when they see it coming, as this cop did) and police officers receive extensive training on how to defend against such attacks. Taser, club to the head or disarming a lunging girl with your hands are options... Firearms are not.
This is one of the few cases lately where I side with the victim. This cop should face manslaughter charges.
