The chances are the outcome is better for the stabber by a greater degree


than they are worse for the girl being stabbed. It's unlikely that the girl being stabbed dies particularly if the officer intervenes to prevent multiple stab wounds.

To be clear, I'm not saying this is an easy situation or that the officer is clearly in the wrong here or that the officer should be charged.... I just believe an officer should use his firearm as a very last resort, and it feels like there were other less deadly options than shooting the girl 4 times.
