Even with the most vigorous of training regimens, a team of police officers checking meters is the least likely of all to expect a sudden, abrupt violent attack. Or perhaps the perp incapacitated them both before they had a chance to properly react.
You don't understand what I mean.
The person cannot stab both police officer at the same time. And depending on the beat detail, it should be set that both police officer cannot be attacked at the same time, if the beat is for 2 officers to check the meter in an area together, the two officer will be checking the meters on the different side of the street (one will be on one side of the street, and the other will be on the other side) and if there are only 1 side of the street, then one will start from the beginning of the street, one will start at the end.
So if one of the officer is in trouble, the other one can intervene.
But from what I can gather, both were stab first, and then have their weapons stolen, and shot dead with their weapon means both went down pretty much the same time, which translated to their position was not what we called "Mutually supporting each other" which would suggest a procedural error, or a human error, or both. Because the reason why there is a two men beats is so that this can never happen.
Bear in mind the police would be accountable for the third victim (the teaching student) because the third victim is shot with a police issued weapon. And ultimately it's the police force responsibility to have officers accountable for their actions and accountable for their weapon. In a Police Academy, the first thing you were taught is the responsibility to bear weapon, because it may help you in some situation and if you are using it wrong, it will work against you.
