Yes, I suspect there's an attempt being made to justify US-cop-shootings in general by showing this one...
...except in this one, the officers are being by the book and, I would say, even going above and beyond to make life easier for the guy before he pulls a gun on them and shoots first. It's hardly the same as, or a justification for, incidents where the police have rolled up and started shooting no questions asked, or just flat out shot unarmed people in the back.
Is it being used as an explanation for why some cops are "jumpy" / trigger happy? It really shouldn't be. They're (supposedly) trained to assess and handle these situations for the best outcome.
