Correct. I would think a male police officer with a billy club, a


kevlar vest to protect vitals, and training to disable / subdue suspects could have stopped a 16 year old girl (albeit a rather large 16 year old girl) from killing the other girl with a knife without having to kill her or without risking fatal injuries to himself.

You read all the time about officers in the UK subduing and arresting a crazed suspect wielding a knife. Somehow they manage to do this without shooting the person. Of course most police officers in the UK don't even carry a gun.
