Since its split seconds, whatever prompted the cop to pull his gun, will still be in view when his gun is pulled, i.e. the situation isn't going to change in 1/10th of a second.

I'm on the fence on this one. In some cases it could prove the cop was right and in others it may prove him wrong. How many times have we watched a replay in sports, where the call is in dispute? Three camera's three angles and it is still too close to call.

Thats still an improvement.

Nothing is perfect, but the system now, leaves innocent cops vulnerable to being prosecuted due to political pressure with "witnesses" who have no qualms about lying.
