“He got down on the ground, but given the extreme lengths he’d gone to to flee - he was apparently dead-set against be arrested - who is to say he wouldn’t make a move against the police when they approached him, or that he wasn’t possibly armed and waiting their approach. “
He got out of the truck obeying each command by the officers. There were about seven big dudes on him.

So? Like I said, he triggered a physical response from them, a very physical one.
People aren’t robots. We have ALL had physical responses triggered. Have you ever gotten angry? Very angry?
How about someone leading others on a 100 mph chase endangering countless lives.
People right now also seem to think this is happening in virtual reality, or is fictional.
This man also had a serious arrest record, and had tried to escape police before.
Given all this, he triggered a very physical reaction in them. They mentally prepared themselves for a physical fight with him after an intense physical chase.
Now, we all know the difference that makes.
If you’re just eating quietly in a restaurant, you’re at peace. But if suddenly someone starts a disturbance and you believe you might seriously have to physically defend yourself, you are mentally and physically going into a different physical mode, one you can’t just snap back out of.
