We have the video, we saw the officer go into a tantrum that caused the driver to flee. We can judge him on that, and we should. He failed his duty to public safety, and that's the worse thing an officer can do outside of being actively corrupt.

Likewise, making up a narrative that assumes guilt of the officer doesn't do anything either. Maybe there could be another cruiser behind the other officer's cruiser? Maybe there isn't another cruiser available? Again, we know very little about the situation.
I honestly would not call that a tantrum; maybe we have different definitions of what a tantrum is. We should judge people on a whole story, not a small video clip. We have a very little amount of information that indicates what happened before that. Otherwise, one would just be short sighted.
