But in this particular case, two different officers reacted in two different ways. If she reacted correctly, then it would stand to reason that her partner should be disciplined for his failure to react accordingly.

We'll have to wait for court testimony, but ...
What if the cop beside her shot the taser and the perp continued to move as if not tased ?

Split second decisions made by different people, with limited information, will often be different. The fact that two people did two different things, in the same situation, does not mean that one is wrong and the other right. Split-second, limited information, life-and-death decisions are, unfortunately, going to lead to a wide range of potentially valid actions. This is why you don't f around when interacting with the police, unless you are an indescribably stupid, selfish and self-centered person.
All this does is highlight the stupidity (in this case, fatal stupidity) and utter selfishness of not cooperating with the police, in the first place. The fact that two people did two different things, in the same situation, does not mean that one is wrong and the other right.
