IIRC, resisting arrest, taking a cop's weapon and running away with it IS grounds for the use of lethal force. The assumption being that the person doing so is an immediate, clear and present danger to any/everyone else he crosses paths with. Police training is to treat that person as an armed, active shooter and eliminate the threat as quickly as possible.

The key here is that it sure looks like the cop picked up the taser (which qualifies as a police weapon) and then planted it on the guy after he was shot.
