When the suspect starts reaching into his car, that may have required a split second decision to save the officer's life.
But much like the Tamir Rice shooting, poor tactics eliminated the possibility of better outcomes.  They probably could have tackled him and started getting the cuffs on before he got anywhere near the car.
