The guy was clearly strong enough and crazy enough to restrain another person and EAT OFF THEIR FACE.
Frankly the policeman did the right thing. I don't particularly think standing there and shooting the guy makes him a hero, but I don't disagree with what he did.

Didn't we invent tazers for situations like this?

Sure!
But if you don't have a taser handy...

Well yes.......
the main bits I'd take from this are:
1, Unarmed
2, Preoccupied with 'chewing face off'
3,'Over a dozen shots fired' what was he trying to do. Make the guy a sieve?

A quick 'taze' some CS and its all gravy. America is nutter homeland, it should be normal procedure to deal with this sort of shit.

Not everyone has a tazer or cs on them.
American cops have a spray don't they? That would require him to get quite close though. The guy needed to be stopped. Immediately.

The other side of the coin is that the officer didn't react strongly enough, and the victim suffered fatal bites.

I believe
once you take the descision to use lethal force, you stick with it. One shot or twenty to neutralise the threat; whatever it takes.
The USA has a LOT of police widows.
