You mean to do their jobs badly? Police officers jobs are to protect people and their lives, that goes both ways. Firearms are the last resort and it's better for everybody that way. They have access to tazers and guns, they're just competent enough to not solve every problem with the pull of a trigger as their first reaction to everything.

While I'd agree guns and tasers should be last resort, I think a madman swinging a machete at you justfies using that last resort...

They got the guy didn't they, they are professionals, they are the ones who've been trained, they were the one's  in the situation. They thought they could handle and arrest the guy without killing him, and look they did.

These police officers are people, they didn't come into to the job because they want or like to kill people, while I'm 100% sure if they had to kill someone as they had no other choice they would, it's just that their is more than one solution to every problem sometimes, and the easiest solution might not be the best one.
