Once again you have to eat crow. From News9.com :
“Nehemiah attacks a trooper, hits him head on with both hands like he’s an offensive linemen, he hits him, drives him to the ground, gets on top of him and tries to drown him,” said OHP legal counsel Gary James.

James said trooper Michael Taylor was pinned underwater, and both he and trooper Mark Southall shot at Nehemiah, who was armed with a pistol and died.

James said both brothers had been drinking before the incident.

“His brother Brandon has admitted that they were taking shots of Crown Royal up unto the time the vehicle is being flooded,” James said.

Hmm. So if this statement by the OHP can be verified, the gentle preacher was driving around drunk in a storm before we see him on video tackling a clearly identified state trooper.

We'll need more evidence for the attempted drowning and to see whether he brandished a firearm, but so far the dead man appears to have gone full Trayvon.

Aside from the fact that this is once again from a police spokeshole [I. Dunno Nuffin], it's kind of handy to know that in every tactical situation, your opponent is NEVER going to back up or retreat to safety because he thinks he's wearing a magic suit of impenetrable, super-strength armor.

Especially when he's not...

That's a special kind of stupid. LOL! :)

Myself, I would have assessed the situation, and gotten my vehicle between me and the brothers. But then, I'm not known to be a mouth-breathing idiot. :)
