When a 6'6 300 pound man is on top of you, there is no waiting until he has chocked for 5 seconds before you protect yourself or bashed your head into the ground one time instead of two. The expectation of how long an officer must wait in this situations is unrealistic and overly dangerous to the officers. It only takes that person on top of you a second to get your gun from you and use it if we are still hanging on the gun requirement for deadly force.

I agree about all the other things that should be happening in relations, but the public needs to reset their expectations of what an officer's risk threshold is because right now it seems to be based on fantasy. 

When a person is killed running away or who is NOT engaged physically with an officer...those are fantasy.

Each situation is different.  If this officer has shot and killed in self defense it would be understandable compared to many other situations.
