now you tell me how a cop should react in a split second when things like this are on the table.

Fleeing but who then turn and point a weapon - better to just hope it’s not a gun.
They knew? Oh you were there and interviewed the police? You searched him and knew he had no gun? Wow. I hear there is an opening for police chief in Atlanta - you should apply.
Better him than me - if my life and the lives others is on the line - you’re damn right. He put himself in that situation - plenty of chances to avoid all of that - he chose poorly.
The cops were very professional until he physically resisted and assaulted the cops. Not sure how much more respect or fairness could have been extended to this man. Maybe we can get better and not put people in what they may or may not perceive as life altering or potential death decisions. But that goes both ways to the fullest.
