The officers involved were probably justified in shooting the guy with the huge machete, but it's worth remembering that a better outcome would be if nobody ended up dead. This outcome should be seen as deficient even if the actions of the people involved were completely by the book.

It was a knife btw not a machete. The 911 caller misunderstood it to be a machete thus a lot of articles states that but it was found out that he only had a knife. Still a deadly weapon but I still feel like one or two shot could have put him down and not kill him.
