The cop was scared and confused by the guy not reacting as he "should" have after being shot...the cop didn't know what to do after that and his response was completely disorganized.

I received a dissimilar impression.
It seemed to me that the officer reached a point where he felt his own physical abilities were enough to occupy the attacker. The officer seemed contented with his ability to counter the lunatics futile & lazy struggle until medical assistance and backup arrived. Just so happened that a fellow citizen came to offer assistance in the mean time.
There was no
hard take down. No knee to the neck. No SWAT team. So, maybe not a textbook encounter - agreed.
I think the officer showed great restraint.
I'm sure officers could watch the video and point out plenty of protocol errors, but in the end, the officer in the video is responsible for his own decisions and I guess he felt he had it under control.
