did you not watch the video? He was slowly backing up and the guy was following him, swinging away. How far should he back up? Should he go around the block? How fast should he back up? We don't see behind him. We have no idea how much space or road there is for him to back up into.

I'm the kind of guy who feels the cops should only use lethal force when it is absolutely needed and to me, based on what I can see in that video it was needed. A bat is a serious weapon. I wouldn't fuck with him. The guy seems like he is clearly out of his mind. I personally wouldn't wait until he was bashing my head in before I acted and I wouldn't run away and let him take off and maybe hurt someone else.
