Up to a point...I mean, I see what you're getting at. As I recall, the officer had already been shot once, and was on the ground wrestling with both of the perpetrators. The article, I don't believe, made that very clear. Given his situation, I will personally support his actions. Were I in his position...I probably would've done the same. I don't see it as an "execution", so much as self preservation, at that point
But if he is in the position to reach down, get his gun, and not just point it toward someone, but put it next to his head, then he must have some form of control of the situation.

The article not making this exactly clear, let me revise my statement and say that if they were still tumbling around, then OK, I could see it. However if the officer was sitting on top of him, then no.
