The officer in pursuit has his taser out and drops it in favor of his gun only once the suspect turns and fires the taser at the officer. The officer wanted to use less than lethal, but the situation changed, necessitating an escalation of force.
It looks like the other officer fired his tazer already. This is one of the huge problems with tazers where you get ONE shot. If you fire and it's not effective, then it's only usage requires direct contact.

Also it's a long distance for a tazer I think.
