tasers were mentioned in the articles and said they were not used because the skin needs to be exposed for them to work?

Here’s the other article:

A taser wasn’t used, Dotson says, because Powell was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and the taser must make contact with skin.

Let’s look. At the bigger picture. The cops shouldn’t even have to be dealing with idiots running around with knives taunting them. Nowadays I wouldn’t be surprised if the black kids are told to go find trouble with a cop and get shot because of the huge payday and attention it brings (s/). Hey it’s the culture we live in. You can thank Facebook and YouTube or starting it.
