I could understand if it was a set of nail clippers, but we're talking about a machete here.

This is true.
There are plenty of instances to get upset about excessive force and what some would consider downright murder in the case of police, but this would not be one of them had he fired at him initially and killed him. I don't think anyone would have had a problem with it. They have those weapons for a reason. That would be a lot different than officers shooting people as they run away, or are lying on the ground.
