He was seizing right at them and they were afraid for their lives, they really had no other choice! Also, he didn't stop when they told him to, which is an egregious crime in the US it seems - when a cop tells you to do something you do it, or risk getting tazed and/or shot, even if the order is to turn green, fly, crawl with your arms in the air or stop having a grand mal seizure...
