If a taser fails the man easily could have killed the officer at that range and they should have a right to defend themselves especially from lethal force. For all the injustices that officers may be committing, this doesn't seem like one to me.

This video shows officers that have not already drawn a weopon. The video of the man being shot had there weapons drawn immediately. Like I said one could of had a stun gun .
I don't care how many chances they gave the guy to drop the knife. Say drop the knife once. Like before he CLP over that little ledge ten taze him . At that point he was about 15-17 feet away. If that fails from that distance then shoot him.
I understand this may have been suicide by cop. It almost looks like he was testing
Its just amazing how all these country's in the world can subdue criminals with out firearms but not in the USA.
And I hope we are not still using outdated video's to train our police forces.
We don't know what would of happened if the cops did not instantly engage with guns drawn. Before they even engaged him weapons were drawn. When met with force, force usually is returned.
I don't have anything against police shootings with out good reasoning. Hell, I was raised by a cop.
