Judging by the witness accounts, it sounds like the taser had a pretty big effect on this guy. They said he vomitted after the 2nd time. It also said he was shot after leaning forward (after both hands were in view). Judging by that, I think the officer had an itchy trigger finger and screwed up; the excuse of being a threat to other officers doesn't seem to hold water. The comment above about the dead guy having a CCW permit probably had the officers on edge.
I am sure there is another side to this. Based on this story alone, it does looks like overkill on the officers part and a bad shoot.
