Then by all means, draw it out for us what you would've done in this situation when he was even resisting a taser situation?

I'm not a cop and haven't been through training on how to deal with someone in that situation, so what I would've done means nothing. I would simply point you to the many examples out there where 1-3 cops are able to take an unarmed suspect that is resisting arrest into custody without killing him/her. Or even giving up pursuit of the suspect.

Holy shite. Just because they are having trouble subduing the guy DOESN'T JUSTIFY KILLING HIM. He had a rock, not a gun. If the three of them can't chase him down and tackle him, they shouldn't be cops. The guy posed no threat to their lives, but they used their firearms anyway. If you can't see what's wrong with that from a bigger picture point of view, then I don't know what to say to you.
