I do not like taser, have seen too many taser stories of stuff that makes no justifiable sense, etc., but in this case, second-guessing an instantaneous decision, given the apparent lack of effect of the taser, seems somewhat more difficult.
As some locals are pointing out on this thread, this article appears to be a piece of disinformation and selective propaganda.

I have maintained that officer was in the wrong for tasering the suspect for 37 seconds, but the death appears to be accidental and not intentional.
