Slight correction. Australian police regularly shoot and kill people 
in the street armed with knives and some who even act weird and take 
a step forward. So you may want to consider it's not just the US in 
that boat. What about the UK police who killed that man in the subway 
a few years ago? He wasn't armed. He was running for a train. Not 
everyone gets their day in court, unfortunately. And they aren't even 
confessed murderers to start with.
