To me it looks like the cop wanted him dead rather than escaped with a taser on foot while drunk.

The cop got tired of the struggle and ended it - though they could have traced him later from documents.

It's a pretty dumb move to tase a cop. But the punishment should fit the crime, and cops should not do the punishing.

My personal view: What if runs again? They can just catch him later? Will he keep drinking and driving until he kills himself and someone else?

I'm really not a let them run kinda guy. Just letting them run means the law is meaningless.

He can't run forever. The police outnumbers and outspends him, and documents are shared across the police force. Also, he'd be missing a car now.

DUI has lawful punishments, and being shot dead is not one of them.

He just needs to run whenever the police try to apprehend him, or until he has a fatal accident in a DUI.

The police, now knowing that the guy can evade 2 cops, could organize a stakeout at, say, his home, with more than 2 cops.

Also, perhaps the guy would not be so eager to drink and drive again, having had an encounter with the police.
