I don't think the cops knew what was in his hand other than a blunt object. He was flailing it around, tasers are known to be pretty damn safe and to save the lives of good guys and bad guys alike, and they acted to diffuse a tense situation. It all happened quickly, and it's sure easy to sit back and tell these trained police officers what they should have done differently.
