Make sure your wives aren't cutting vegetables when the cops mistakenly bust into your house by mistake, because she's gonna get one in the head.

You need to relax a little... There is no way you can assess the threat level based on that video.
We don't know what happened just before the police entered the property.
I'm not condoning what they did but you must try and understand the police office who shot the suspect made a decision based on what he saw at that moment time.
If you ever talk to a police officer who has shot someone they will most probably tell you they don't even remember pulling the trigger.
Instincts kick in... Their training helps but the police officers reaction (note I didn't say response) is based on what he perceives to be the situation at that moment.
That perception can be very distorted... The adrenalin is pumping and they have less than 1/2 a second to make a decision.
I wish it was a better than that but unfortunately that's the environment they work in.
