STOP [BLEEP] KILLING PEOPLE. LETHAL FORCE SHOULD ONLY BE USED ON PEOPLE WHO ARE CLEARLY CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE THREAT TO THE LIVES OF OTHERS. THAT IS [BLEEP] BASIC.

The city’s prosecutor literally just said the use of a taser is deadly force when he arrested those officers. 

Would you rather the officers get tased before shooting? What’s the alternative here?

Well at that point you do have the dudes car. Impound it, and wait for him to come get it. Got his name, his address, and it wouldn't be too hard to find out where he works. So, why even chase him? After he sleeps it off, he will have to come to the realization the DUI would have been less trouble than resisting, and taking the weapon. I know someone will say, "but he took a weapon he could use on someone else" ... If he is going to use a weapon (any weapon) that's on him. Weapons aren't hard to come by. Mr. Brooks, when you come to get your car, bring the taser with you, and we will drop the theft charge.

Man still alive, cop still employed.
