The incident involved two knives. Here's a picture of them (from the linked article):
The officer tased a 95-year old woman, who needed a walker to move about, because she was holding a steak knife.
Ya, I get not wanted to get a bit of a ragged cut, but Jesus Zombie Christ, that situation sounds less threatening than a box full of kittens.
Yeah, but we have to assume that a person wielding a knife can instantly stab you from 100 yards away, because uhh... I can't walk backwards?
