The real tragedy here is a "compassionate" belief that mentally ill and/or drug addicted criminals should be allowed to roam about however they want causing mayhem and havoc. If Timothy Green had been where he belonged in some sort of involuntary treatment facility getting the actual help he needed, then this situation may have been avoided.
However, multiple tazings followed by charging at the police with a knife is absolutely a justified shooting, and the groveling by the Olympia city council, while typical and unsurprising, is always pathetic to see.
