The effects of each that can last serveral minutes. And I haven't been able to read anywhere that the pepper spray or the knife were in his sweatshirt pocket. I'm pretty sure if they were that would be clearly pointed out.
I have a feeling the "I'm trying to take my hands out" was something added in by a bystander, like much of the story. As for the knife and pepper spray, it says he had them on his person but was not "brandishing" them, which typically means displaying; thus, they'd have to be in his pockets or in his pants, etc.

This story is just way too far out there. A team of cops are not going to walk up and taser and shoot a guy with no provocation in front of a bunch of bystanders for no good reason, no matter how crooked they may (or may not) be. Think of it this way: whats in it for them? WHY would a cop walk up on someone and shoot them for no apparent reason? What would be the benefit?

It just doesn't add up.
