Well Henry, I don't view that as a life threatening situation. But maybe these cops were just a bunch of pussies.

My opinion is that it wasn't done out of fear for their safety at all. Cops can get caught up in the pursuit and maybe get angry about some punk causing trouble. They "just can't let him get away with it" - and take the easy option of using firearms "to stop him" when it wasn't necessary for personal safety...

Well he did resist non-lethal force (taser) in order to continue to try to injure the officers.

Which is fine. It's your opinion. But these cops may have felt differently because they were actually in the situation. It's easy to say it's not that scary of a situation when you're not the person experiencing it first hand.
