In most of these cases where the officer is alone, if the coward behind the camera would ask if they need assistance maybe this wouldn't have to go that far. I see nothing wrong with how the cop handled this. Imagine being in a wrestling match with someone and having a loaded gun on your hip.
Sad to see how the police departments are quick to throw officers under the bus before an investigation. I'm sure this would have had a very different event chain if the suspect had just complied.
