Definitely there has to be a good reason for it.

Is anyone even remotely surprised by this?
He was probably meeting with someone who had one, being an ambassador and all.
Multiple news articles are saying this was a production level attack, on devices that were specifically ordered by Hesbollah.
Those devices were bought by Hesbollah, for their soldiers to use, and were connected to a network they operate.
From what I understand about the attack, even if one of these devices made it’s way into the hands of a doctor, it would have to be connected to the Hesbollah network to detonate.
We’ve never had a similar situation to compare to.
I’m from New Zealand, our police shoot people with knives occasionally. I’m not convinced this would have ended differently here, or any other country.
A knife is an incredibly dangerous weapon, and the alternative solutions being proposed here just aren’t realistic.
The man catcher poles thing was pretty funny though.
They’re already at war though.
To take this to it’s logical extreme, how do you feel about assassination attempts on high ranking Nazi officials? They’re non combatants, after all.

Where has this actually happened though? I very much doubt it’s standard practice for any police force.
but the cops put the public in more danger than the danger the cops faced by this one violent individual.
I’m not sure that’s the case here actually, it sounds to me like it was only a matter of time before this person went off on someone if they were so quick to pull a knife on the police.
Yep.
A lot of people have a totally black and white view of the world, and they will never admit that, occasionally, the group they hate isn’t totally in the wrong. It’s kinda sad actually.
My understanding of this is those pagers and the network they were connected to were only for use by Hesbollah.
