Three days before Independence Day, Milton Hall died in a fusillade of police gunfire outside a strip mall. He had been arguing with officers in a parking lot next to a shuttered Chinese restaurant when he was shot, in full view of passing motorists and while he was holding some sort of knife. Saginaw County Prosecutor Michael Thomas said later that the squad of police confronting him opened fire "because apparently, at this point in time, he was threatening to assault police.

I think it was unnecessary to shoot him 40 times. Seriously all he had was a knife in his hand they could have tazed him or something.

Serves him right, although they should've hesitated a little because all he took was a few steps back.

46 times that means every cop fired about 7-8 shots., one bullet would have been sufficient, or even tazer him.

There are many cases of people surviving more shots than that. Plus, if you think somebody's about to go at you with a knife, wouldn't you want to MAKE SURE he/she isn't a threat anymore?
