This is a fairly disingenuous article. It both of the "comparable" instances cited, the person who called 911 had a knife when the cops arrived, and in at least one case tried to attack them. I'm not saying that non-lethal force couldn't have been used on either Lyles or Davis, but to compare someone who has a knife (and won't drop it when commanded by police) to a woman who walks up to a police car with no weapon is not even the same ballpark. Also weird that the author went out of his/her way to identify the race of the officers in the other shootings, but didn't mention it in the current one. Bad journalism all around.
