Nobody should bet their life on a taser. They aren't a sure thing, and they aren't that reliable. If given the opportunity, less than lethal shotgun rounds would have been a viable option in this case if there were at least 4 officers there. With only two officers there your options are more limited.

Taser vs. knife is a loser.

Totally agree with the don’t bet your life on Taser comment. When the incident on the video is fully investigated, I’m guessing the tox-screen will tell the story. The guy was the only one in the video wearing any kind of jacket. That alone will make any cop’s antenna twitch.
