In fact, the report says during the arrest McDowell kept putting his hands on the second officers gun holster. The problem is if people don't agree with that after the fact because it turned out okay this time then they will never agree with deadly force short of a guy holding a gun to the cops head and that is part of the issue. 

And, again, I side with not using deadly force unless absolutely necessary.

And there ARE times when it is is necessary.

But we need to find ways to keep these times to an absolute minimum and to be treated very seriously.

And, again, we also need to find ways to keep incidents from escalating and start restoring trust between  groups.
