I see taser as a very useful and non-lethal tool for the police, the CPS is looking into acquring some taser guns and I would say it's better they use those when necessary than to pull out their real guns when some psycho is waving a knife in their face. I'm sure no police officer could be feeling good when they have to fire live rounds, even in self-defense.
Talking is good, and it does work most of the time, but you said it, there are just people out there who are way too stubborn and don't know what's good for them and the safety of others around them, that's when other non-lethal alternatives have to be sought in order to subdue the trouble-makers.

Honestly, if some wacko is threatening someone with a knife, I would hope the cop has the gun out. You just do not take the risk that the taser doesnt work, doesnt have an effect or the criminal can stab someone before the taser can be utilized. If someone's life is in danger, you take the attacker down with the gun.
Taser is for people resisting or fighting in a non-lethal situation, such as this stupid woman.
