Looks like the Tueller drill come to life, 4 armed cops down in about 30 seconds. Seems to have happened in Nicaragua a few years back, so the sound track is in Spanish. Gist of it seems to be domestic. Knife comes out at around 4:00, real action starts around 7:00.

There was a somewhat heated discussion here awhile back on this very thing, and a number of people seemed to think it was a joke to think that someone with a knife could be a serious threat. Obviously here, the cops werent taking the boy very serious, and/or they really lacked in training, and it looks like it cost some of them their lives because of it. They had numerous opportunities, and a green light to shoot, yet for whatever reason, they didnt. Seems they thought running away was a better idea, and that too, cost a couple of them. I know Id have been shooting a lot sooner.
Quite a few shots (around 9 I think), yet not real effective. He did finally go down. Even after being shot, hes still alive, and seems to have fared better than those he got with the knife. Dont know if he died or not. Perhaps someone who speaks Spanish can fill us in on what went on.
Check out the ambulance at around 13:00, its state of the art.
