Yeah, I didn't really want to approach it from that angle because there is no way of proving it, but that was my first instinct as well. Two on one and he still pulled off the "get away".Probably my own bias showing, but I wouldn't be surprised if the cops inability to subdue him during the initial struggle played a part in how quickly they resorted too lethal measures.
