Once the pounding stopped, the escalation of force should also come down as well.

I do not suggest people go punching officers or others.

Also, look at my other response. If he was a fleeing felon, or just committed a heinous crime and was trying to flee, then the officers are justified in shooting him.

Example: Officer witnesses suspect brutally kill someone with an ax, suspect drops ax and starts to run. Officer can legally shoot suspect to stop him or her.
