The man continued to shout and demand that officers shoot him, while ignoring officers' commands to get on the ground. After the man put his hands in the air, the officer "made the decision to de-escalate the use of force by holstering his handgun and instead drawing his department-issued Taser," the report said. The man continued to ignore commands to get on the ground, before finally lunging at the officer, who used his Taser on the man.
