From what I know of the encounter, your response seems spot on.If it were my call... I'd leave absent any other credible information that PHYSICAL VIOLENCE had taken place.
As a Supervisor, I've instructed officers to leave under the exact same circumstances.
What if this had been a traffic stop and he had a gun? Oh….wait…we know how those have turned out. Bottom line, I see todays environmental conditions as cop sees gun, cop fires.
Do any encounters with guns end in suspect citizen accused as just arrested anymore?
