Just before using deadly force, they should have used stun guns.

James, I think you will find that the other two commenters were saying precisely that. Dave the Dog was using sarcasm and satire. Sadly the British Public have become expert in passing the blame for their own misdeeds onto anyone but themselves.

The officers used two methods before finally resorting to deadly force, verbal commands, and a K9. I believe they had every right to shoot, especially considering he already stabbed two men and a police dog. His potential was clear.

He injures the dog, what dog handler or even dog owner would let an animal abuser do that?

Dont mess with armed police, end of story……literally!

Ha, I read this earlier on a news feed and had to resort to swearing under my breath.
“Relatives and colleagues are now questioning whether police did everything they could to defuse the situation before using deadly force and are planning to lodge a protest and complaint against Santa Clara police for their handling of the situation.”
Maybe I missed something? He stabbed one person, then he broke into a house and stabbed a friend, police tried to negotiate with him and when that failed they sent in a dog (not SWAT) he seriously injures the dog and then confronts armed officers. They then, completely unprovoked of course, shoot him.
Sadly, we in the UK (United? Hmm) are actually leading the US in this type of public response.
