The problem here is that the cop had to consider all of this in 3 seconds.

Agreed. But most of their instances of use of deadly force or not is going to be nearly split second. IMO any involvement of firearm possessed by perp or reasonable suspicion of firearm on perp, that gets the most leeway in justifiable use of deadly force. Knife in relatively close quarters, justifiable use of deadly. But as I consider taser to be less than lethal, a good bit of scrutiny is to be applied there.

How was the cop supposed to know the suspect didnt grab the other guy's gun as opposed to his taser?
