Had the officers taken him down earlier in the incident there would have been outrage that he was handcuffed for no reason. Law enforcement has become a game of which option, at this very moment in the interaction, is the least offensive and thus least likely to cause a lawsuit. I'm leaning towards the fact that their agency has a policy in place to not use aggression and attempt to talk the individual into compliance. When the "victim" reached into his vehicle that policy was thrown out the door and it became a life threatening action towards the officers. That is why they shot him when and where they did As to the number of rounds fired, I would only guess that two officers fired a double tap of two rounds and the one nearest fired 3.
