Tasers are not an effective method of neutralizing a threat, I'll patiently wait for Canuck-Hater to list the plenty of non-lethal options you have when a kid is allegedly coming at you with a knife. The officer is well within his rights to neutralize the threat.
I agree that this is like the Trayvon case in that people have beef with the police officer, instead of with the law that authorizes him to shoot.
