He didn’t use deadly force. In any situation, an encounter can go from serene to deadly.

Do you expect an officer to never pull out his gun, despite bring surrounded by people who might want to murder him?

He pulled his firearm and was clearly not in control.

Yes, unless you know a way to read peoples thoughts using your threshold would allow cops to shoot anyone they encountered on the grounds the “might” want to murder them.
