Any cop will tell you their not trained to restrain someone by the neck especially for extended periods. There were at least 4 cops on the scene, if they couldn't hold him down by the back or something they need to be retrained.

Shoot him the leg? Seriously? Real life isn't an action movie. In the heat of the moment would you shoot someone in the largest part of their body to almost certainly stop yourself being stabbed or aim for one of the smallest parts of the body and possibly still get stabbed?
If these Melbourne cops shot him in the back while he was complying that would be a different story.
