Does anyone really think he was still a threat when he was laying lifeless on the ground? Heck, there was no reason that the police couldn't have backed off at that point period. Numerous similar situation have been resolved by simply giving the person space until they cool down.
No one is saying the police can't use deadly force, but there still needs to be a standard in place so that privilege isn't abused.
