The police have to have a plan of attack before they confront the individual. It really doesn't surprise me that someone overheard them talking about it.
RCMP have protocol that they follow and like it or not tasering is part of that protocol. Tasering is deemed by the RCMP as the least likely to result in fatality

Exactly my point in my post earlier.
They MUST analyze the situation before responding, which is why, as I said, what they were told is critical here.
From their actions on the video, it seems obvious to me that they were under the impression that this man was very dangerous. How they came to that determination is critical.
