Tasers don't stop knife wielding suspect

This bodycam footage comes from San Francisco, California, and shows their Police Department responding to a 911 call regarding a suspect in possession of a knife while under the influence of drugs. While he initially complies, the suspect draws the knife when within striking distance of the officers, resulting in his being shot when TASERs fail to stop him. Although the suspect survived the shooting and is in critical condition, viewer discretion remains advised. The initial 911 call came from the suspect's mother. The suspect, identified as Luis Francisco-Manzo, 28 years of age, exited her apartment into a long hallway. The video begins here, showing the officers attempting to verbally de-escalate the situation. Although he initially complies, Francisco-Manzo draws the knife at the threshold. The officers try to create distance, and, crucially, two attempts to incapacitate him with TASERs fail. As he is within striking distance of the officers, non-compliant, and in possession of a deadly weapon, the only recourse left is to shoot him. Luis Francisco-Manzo was transported to an area hospital where, at time of writing, he is in critical condition. Public perception of neuromuscular incapacitation is that it works every time; an "I win" button. But this simply isn't the case, and relying on it can tempt disaster.
