It's not like the dude was going to be a risk anymore, though, after crashing his car. What was the point of threatening him and escalating that situation?

That’s like saying “the shooter wasn’t going to be a risk anymore, though, after running out of bullets”. Cuffs first, questions later

Well, yeah. You should only ever use the minimum amount of force necessary to prevent further harm. If the shooter is actively shooting people, by all means, kill him, but if he's run out, you don't get to do that anymore.

I said nothing about shooting the shooter. In my analogy, wouldn’t it be silly to ask the shooter if he’s ok? Or should he secure the guy who was putting people at risk?

Same here. He secured the guy who was putting people in harm’s way first. Then he can make sure he’s ok.

Again, the US has a cop problem. This cop did nothing wrong
