Police can't win.
Quote:
"The offender turned to engage the officer at which time the officer engage deployed his Taser, however, it proved ineffective," explained Daroux. "A physical struggle then ensued when the man produced a large bladed weapon and severely injured our officer."
"The officer responded by discharging his firearm."

He is now severely injured because he didn't initially shoot him, but people would be irate if he had shot him prior to attempting the taser. Split second decisions... and the officer loses either way.
