Cops are human beings -- they can make mistakes. When a guy who has a temper tantrum ends up in the morgue, I think it's pretty clear that someone made a mistake. Or do you think this all went down pretty well, and the whole incident was a textbook display of police work? Speaking of, do you think this incident should become a "case study" for police-in-training? Like a "how to" guide on how to deal with a guy who is acting crazy?

Those statements are ridiculous. The whole incident from a police stand point, could have been 'textbook'. From a use of force perspective, all factors for deploying a taser could have been present and all other forms of control had been exhausted or simply weren't practicable. A taser was those used to gain compliance. Thus, its was 'textbook'. Could it be a case study? Possibly.
Please read up on the Canadian Crim Code (sections 25 and 26 specifically) and maybe check out some Use of Force models before making comments like the above.
