The article says "Short on good, clear examples of unjustifiable brutality...."

Uh ok it is examples you want?

George Floyd
Sandra Bland
Freddie Gray
Walter Scott

None of those people did anything warranting their murder at the hands of cops... so the article uses 3 examples of valid cop killings to say Blacks are not being killed improperly by cops but here I list 4 examples...

I've been thinking about it lately. The teenage girl with the knife really makes me ponder how the cops operate.

The paradigm has been "knife wielder who is unresponsive to commands gets shot" and it has been this way for a long time. Watching that video just makes me wonder why they did not taser her into submission. If there is time to pull your service pistol there is time to pull your taser. Clearly the ROE regarding knives needs modification.

What I fear is that cops will simply not stop attempted murder occurring right in front of them in the future.

The whole thing with confronting people who have a gun in their hand is unsolvable. Cops are always going to shoot someone who is pointing a gun at them and no new law or directive will change that. Someone carrying a gun who is unresponsive to commands is taking a big risk with their life.

If at some point cops are simply disarmed or forbidden to shoot people we will have a period of actual anarchy. If cops are allowed to continue as they do now.... we will have a period of actual anarchy. Lose/Lose.

The girl with the knife was moving pretty fast. Is hitting a target with a taser as accurate as hitting a target with a gun? Is it as good at stopping an assailant?
