Yea, but you're still not allowed to shoot, taser, baton, hit or grab a suspect... even if he's trying to kill you. The only acceptable response is to try and calm the suspect down by handing him a cute, cuddly kitten.
Watch the video. This guy wasn't trying to kill anyone. To the extent he was resisting arrest, it was passive resistance at most. He wasn't attacking the officers, or otherwise putting them at risk.
