It's interesting seeing police around the world handling such things:
HELSINKI (AP) — A man stabbed eight people Friday in Finland’s western city of Turku, killing two of them, before police shot him in the thigh and detained him, police said. Authorities were looking for more potential suspects in the attack.

I've seen many examples of police engaging with firearms in the US that are eye watering .. eg: police firing across an intersection with moving traffic into a darkened mall | storefront that active shooters retreated into .. so, no clear line of sight, chance of hitting car that crosses fire line, chance of hitting innocents deeper in store, etc.
- johnisgood 2y agoI have seen PoliceActivity videos and such, it is indeed crazy what is going on in the US wrt. shootings (from cops and others alike). Or calling the cops on your family member because they are in psychosis or what have you, and they end up killing a member of your family. I do not think I would ever call the cops in the US to deal with such cases.
- genewitch 2y agoWe have a saying in this house. There is no situation so bad that it cannot be made worse by calling the police.
- johnisgood 2y agoPretty much!
