If the police , as in this case , dealt with her without the use of firearms , and god bless the coppers who did , then it's up to the police, courts and medical people to see which way this goes
If someone who is a danger to others is shot dead by the police or tasered then it matters not wether they were mentally unwell or not . What matters is that the police , under tremendous pressure , made the right call . Which is usually subject to an investigation .
I really dont know what you mean by what would be my reaction if a mentally disturbed knife attacker was shot dead by the police ?
I would trust that the police had no other option .
In this case they arrested her at the scene .
Are you expecting me to say I would be happy , angry , sad , excited ?
