Tasers are most likely safer than Beanbag shot. The officers are tasked to protect public safety, and when that is comprimised with little end in sight and officers are in danger Tasering will result as a more humane way instead of bullets or batons. If officers failed to react, who knows what the public outcry would have been if this maniac killed an innocent bystander or officer. The man would not listen to reasoning, hence this tragic occurance. It's not like these officers woke up and said lets kill someone today. The man died based on the consequences of his action, better on the ground, than taking a planeload of passengers in the air with him. Not a pretty scenario, but sometimes all too real.
