How do you know that? Police didn't see him as imminent threat when he pulled the knife on them. They would've shot him, prbly not trying to taser him first. The threat level changed when he walked to the drivers side and tried to enter the vehicle. It was impossible for the police to know if there was a gun in the car or no. More importantly however, as a deadly weapon a car has a lot more potential than a small knife.

There were 3 officers, all armed and trained, against 1 man. You're telling me that with all their combined effort, they aren't capable of simply disarming him, cuffing him, and taking him to jail so he can answer to the law? They're trained to deescalate the situation and stop any conflict before it gets out of hand in the safest way possible. This entire situation could have easily been avoided if they had just non-lethally apprehended him and taken him to jail from the start. 

They shouldn't have even let him get to the driver's side and let the situation get that far in the first place. And it most certainly doesn't justify putting 7 bullets in his back. Going by what you're saying, they'd have to be rock stupid to let him get into his car, start it, and let him have the chance to cause real damage. If they're really that incompetent, they've got no business wearing a badge.
