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.

Seeing what little there is on the video.. it appeared he could have been subdued.
However.. we have the luxury of armchair qb'ing. The officers had split seconds to make decisions against an individual that couldn't be subdued with a tazer, who used objects to cause serious bodily harm and acted in irrational behavior. Their duty was to protect themselves and the public. It's terrible any time an individual is harmed or even killed if it can be prevented. Perhaps an incident such as this cannot only be used as a teaching tool for law enforcement.. BUT FOR THE PUBLIC AS WELL. In this me, me, me society, it's time folks learned that there are consequences to their actions, sometimes lethal ones and they should act in a more civilized manner towards everyone and a less selfish and egocentric one.
