Normally I would say, Cut the officer a break. BUT having seen the video, there were so many bad choices that the officer made that put him into a dangerous position in the first place. So many jumpy problems. No reason to talk the way he did to the PASSENGER. I hope that the investigation is done impartially.
I am curious as to why the driver was running, what the passenger was doing in the meantime and what his place was in the situation, and where the other officers were (it said he'd JOINED in the pursuit- so there were other cars already in pursuit), and What made the officer so jumpy. Sooo many questions, so many mistakes. Even if the passenger deserved to get shot I'd like to hope the officer is not allowed to stay on the force.
