"Couldn't they have just stopped him, wounded Mike in the arm, the leg or hip?"

Why do people keep saying this dumb shyt?
Police aren't trained to just wound anyone with guns; if they pull out that gun then shyt is about to get REAL. LOL @ asking them to try to hit a small-ass hand or leg, when they can hit the bigger chest area
Cops (should) only pull out the heat if their life is in danger or if someone else's life is in danger
That being said....I watched the video, and it looks like the cop who fired the shot wasn't in danger.....however, dude with the knife DID get close to the next cop, and he didn't appear to drop the knife
Either way.....no big loss here
