Yes, the man that was shot was wrong to resist and then take the policemans taser and then run... BUT, 2 policeman chasing a guy with a non lethal taser then firing and shooting him in the back just plain wrong.. He had already consented to a pat down, no weapons or anything to harm the policeman on his person so, why not just have 2 policeman chase him until they catch up..take him down and proceed with the handcuffing and arrest. I do believe this was excessive force.. the law allows for enough force to be used to stop the threat, that goes for the police and you and me, in case anyone is thinking of the stand your ground rule.
