Agree completely. That incident and this graphic got me to wondering whether there is some sort of behavioral explanation for the way police officers act -- you have an initial stop and scuffle and the officers adrenaline is running high, and when the other guy starts running, there's some sort of fight instinct that can't be turned off easily. Officers learn to say the right things about what they thought (I saw a gun, I feared for my life) after the fact, but that is just post hoc dressing for a series of decisions that aren't rational at all.
