Well I don't know what really happened so can't make a judgement. I stopped reading the Standard after that recent highly dubious piece of so called journalism about Filipinos being the main factor in MRSA in Hong Kong.
Feel sorry for the man's family, feel sorry for the policeman if he correctly only did what he felt he had to to save his own life. I do feel it could have been handled differently, if only because someone lost their life and that should be avoided at all cost IMO - but that is easy to say in hindsight and from the safety of my office. As I say I don't have any real evidence so best keep my gob shut.
