It was far from good. That should have ended waaaaay sooner.

The first couple minutes were good IMO. If the cops thought they had room to back away before shooting to give the situation a chance to deescalate, that's exactly what I'd want from police. While I know it's not always an option, I think that is far better for the theoretical role of law enforcement, public trust, etc. than "I stand where I am and if you appear to flinch you die" that we've seen in some of the most disputed shoots.

The end was a blunder, but thankfully it wasn't worse.

2 cops, 1 perp. 1 taser to the forehead, 1 taser to the dick. Perp gets subdued and lives to stab another day. Everyone wins.
