Why is this suddenly justification, though, if it wasn't okay before? You have to assume anytime ANYONE gets into a wrestling match with a cop, that he's going for the gun. It only takes a split second for that to happen... assuming it will is the only safe way to proceed. You can't assume that the suspect is just going to stick to using his hands. It's not like you wait until he makes that move to say "okay, now there's a real risk of this guy having a gun in a public space". The same risk was always there.
