I'm obviously not a cop, but I do watch a lot of police chase and arrest videos. What they usually do if they want someone to move to a better location for the arrest is have the guy stand, lock his hands behind his head, and walk backwards towards them.
The cop barking commands bothers me as much as the shooter. He wasn't clear with his instructions, and his comments about shooting the suspect became a self-fulfilling prophecy. I bet he made the guy crawl just to humiilate him. Cops have a hard job, especially in America where so many people are armed, but these guys made no attempt to de-escalate the situation and should never wear a badge again.
