Yep, People should understand that American law enforcement agencies these days are staffed by egomaniacal, explosively violent, and unpredictable psychopaths who are prone to kill anyone who doesn’t immediately submit to their awesome awesomeness. Not to mention they like to kill the occasional bystanders and random dogs.
Yeppers, it’s best not to move when these crazies show up. If you don’t move they might not kill you.

And the police were obligated to end the threat and prevent serious injuries or deaths. Lethal force was justified. The perp supplied all the kinetic energy needed.
