You grow up! Tazers are a compliance tool. They are not a freakin freeze-ray!

How nice. You're presupposing events that may or may not have happened. Allow me to do the same:
Since the kid with the knife was about to stab 10 other students to death, the cop shot him. And you have a problem with this??
It’s not excessive force to respond to deadly force with deadly force. That is called “commensurate force”.
If you don’t know these things, then you are ignorant on the topic that you are opining about.
How many other students “surrounding the area” were hit by any bullets fired by the police officer?!?
I’m speaking as a Police Officer who is certified as an School Resource Officer in my state and I work in a High School every day students are in class. One of the things you aren’t considering is that as an Officer, I’m armed, and should I get killed or incapacitated the suspect just got access to a Glock model 22, .40 cal and 46 rounds of ammo. (1 mag in gun, 2 on belt all hold 15 rounds). Our dept does a lot of firing and use of force training, its something we don’t want to have to do, but to be willing to do, even in less than ideal situations, and just like on the streets ( worked there 26 years before I went SRO)those decisions are always second guessed by people in safety and with plenty of time to think of all the options, and often with much more information than we have at the time, much like you have, and that’s fine, its a free country, based on my experience as SRO, Patrol Officer and 18 years SWAT, I have no problem with what he did. I did want to add one more thing, you point out that the suspect was a “kid”, the youngest killer I ever ran into was 12, shot his brother 18 times with a .22 cal rifle for “messing with him’.
