Oh yes, everything I said happened, everything! A LEO has a responsibility to..... here are the operative words.......serve and “PROTECT” and that doesn’t mean protect themselves. So what did you want the cop to do? Give him a warning without knowing anything about him, turn him loose and let him drive his car a couple of miles into a crowded sidewalk and kill a few people? Sorry, the perp escalated the situation, he grabbed the cops arm, turned the ignition on and put the car in drive. He was fleeing and the question to you is.........WHY?
Or drivers that they stop?

I'm not saying the stop wasn't justified, maybe it was. But even if he was driving off, that justified shooting him? Why is deadly force the first choice and not the last one?

While we're asking why, then why did the officer feel the need to falsify his report and say he was dragged?
