Tasers only work like half the time under the absolute best conditions. You pretty much have to have a stationary target with no shirt on and be within 5 feet, and even then it might fail. The failure rate is extraordinarily high. With those loose pants and that jacket there was pretty much zero chance the taser would have worked. I'd bet $1,000 if they had 5 tasers and 5 chances none would connect both prongs so he'd be able to get tased.
Even if they did tase him, the chances are someone who is yelling at police and holding a deadly weapon is probably on drugs or is in a psychotic state and the taser might not even work.
Would you risk your life for a 50/50 chance to possibly spare some cry baby defective human being or take the for sure action?
