I'm almost certain there will be no repercussions because the deceased neglected an officers direct order multiple times while holding a lethal weapon. What you can't see from that video is his position. Did he advance forward? Most likely.

If that's the case there needs to be some major overhauls of police procedure. Not advancing, dropping weapons, etc.. all sound like great criteria when dealing with rational people in sound state of mind. However, most people who would actually do something like this are suffering from some kind of mental illness.
In this case, the guy was nowhere near Yatim. There were no bystandards on the streetcar, and Yatim was contained within the streetcar. Quite frankly, following police protocol should not have been good enough. If it was, police protocol needs to change.
