If you take the leg, the hand with the gun is still available. Pretty simple.

Or in this case the knife. If they're a good shot they should be able to neutralize the suspect without killing them.

You're going to have to read a bunch of stuff OR stop posting shite like this.

It can't continue this way - the ignorance, I mean.

Go to a gun range. Get a full body target.

Aim for the leg and take 6 shots.

Now aim for center mass and take 6 shots.

Question answered.

So the only way for a police officer to neutralize a 15 year old girl with a knife is to shoot to kill?

That's your official position?

Apparently, you watch too many movies. Real life doesn't equal movies. I see a knife, my firearm is squared up on their chest. Nobody shoots a knife out of someone's hand, nor do they make a "wing shot" to disarm them.

Powerbottom has the answer. Ask him about adrenaline and shooting performance.

When you pull your firearm and train it on a live target, your intent and goal is to kill...period. Anything less, you should not draw your weapon.

If you expend munitions it's typically to center mass dumb arse.

Perhaps that's a flaw in how we police things?

If they are given commands to drop the knife and don't...absolutely. A knife IS a deadly weapon.

I'd say that would depend on the knife but I don't disagree

If an officer allows a knife-weilding suspect within 20 feet of him, he fricked up. Do you have any idea how fast a person can cover 6.66 yards? Further, being shot center mass with a handgun doesn't just stop someone in their tracks like on TV. In fact, 84% of all people shot with handguns survive. It is clear that you are completely ignorant of weapons, ballistics, and law enforcement in general and should simply STFU before making an even bigger arse of yourself.
