If the suspect had to arm the pistol, there is at least a 50% chance that 1 of the 3 wounded officers could have shot him.

How are the officers supposed to fire on him when they have to chamber a round first? He'd be shooting while they are occupied with their weapons.

There is not always a moment to spare when lethal force is needed. Sometimes assaults occur without warning, and in that moment, each second is critical.
