The police officer had no reason to believe he was a fleeing felon. The standard is not "guilty until proven innocent."

For a court trial someone is presumed innocent, but that isn't the legal standard for a police officer to use force to subdue someone.

Yes it is. The police are bound by the law just like everyone else. Or at least they are supposed to be.
