I think it's a stretch to conclude that the officer fired in order to prevent the taser from being fired. 
You'd need a brain expert to break down the reaction and processing times in play, and I don't think it will add up.

That's ridiculous and incorrect.

It's apparent you have no real intent to debate in good faith. I'm confident you only want to be a contrarian. You can disagree with whether or not it should be legal, but it absolutely is by-the-book legal. The officer reacted and shot in just over a second. Google says it usually takes .25 - .3 seconds to react. That leaves just about .75 seconds for the officer to fall into the vehicle, remove his weapon, and shoot. What exactly do you think he was thinking?
