We don't know if the guy was running away or was preparing to turn and attack. This is a terrible situation, I am sorry for the guy that got killed, but also for what the officer will have to go through (assuming he feared for his life).

It's called detaining. If the cops felt the situation might eventually escalate that's what should have happened. Again, these were two trained officers, who made some mistakes that ended in a man dead. They made mistakes that they shouldn't have, that a trained officer shouldn't make, and the guy is now a corpse. That's on them and they deserve too be punished.
