Imagine having multiple guns pointed at you, you've been drinking, and they're yelling commands that seem to contradict what a human body can normally do. You're crying and begging them not to shoot and you seem to be trying to comply with every single thing an officer is ordering you to do.

An officer at this point, should have the ability to reason that this person is a non-threat. That's what the point of becoming a police officer is. To be trained in de-escalating a situation and recognizing legitimate threats. Otherwise, what is the point of all this training if an officer can just shoot someone to death when they get jumpy? Other countries don't have this kind of thing when dealing with even more violent situations.
