Split second decision time

But in this particular case, two different officers reacted in two different ways

Split second decisions made by different people, with limited information, will often be different. The fact that two people did two different things, in the same situation, does not mean that one is wrong and the other right. Split-second, limited information, life-and-death decisions are, unfortunately, going to lead to a wide range of potentially valid actions. This is why you don't f around when interacting with the police, unless you are an indescribably stupid, selfish and self-centered person.

All this does is highlight the stupidity (in this case, fatal stupidity) and utter selfishness of not cooperating with the police, in the first place. The fact that two people did two different things, in the same situation, does not mean that one is wrong and the other right.
