He merely had a knife

Quite naturally, this woman is devastated about her son being killed.
But what do this guy expect running towards a police officer holding a gun? Do they actually think it is possible to "aim for the legs", or shoot the weapon out of the hands of the person?
And then there's this phrase: "He merely had a knife." Yeah, some folks have this funny idea that a knife is just a harmless tool. Not.
This lady probably watch too much action movies, and/or need someone to blame.

Story:
A woman says a Broward Sheriff's Office deputy who fatally shot her son was out of line.

The 27-year-old man, was gunned down after he stabbed his ex-girlfriend and her roommate and then ran towards the deputy, holding carving knives.

"There are worse people on the streets," the 47-year-old mother said. "This was too much violence. He wasn't armed with a gun. He merely had a knife.''

Actually, he had two knives - and used them to repeatedly stab two people.
