I agree this is very difficult/impossible to do accurately. The thing that bothers me is he had done basically nothing, they had zero reason to suspect him, they were following him with guns wearing baseball caps and tee-shirts, people panic. If its okay for trained police to mess up, surely its okay for a scared guy going about his business to make one.
I'm prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt, but not prepared to give them the power to be judge jury and executioner without being accountable. Mistakes are understandable, saying 'whoops', or 'it'll happen again' is not good enough.
