If you try to grab an officer's gun you are subject to DPF. The officer cannot afford to lose because if he does, he is dead. The "unarmed" aspect is misleading because the perp is trying to arm himself at the expense of the officer's personal safety or very existence. This officer should not have been fired.

This case should shake us all to the core. Unfortunately, this is going to be the norm. If the LE community nationwide doesn't get their arms around situations like this, it's only going to get worse. I already detect the rumblings in the news questioning DPF used against perp armed with knives. Here in NYC, The People's Republic of the Bronx is prosecuting one of our own for shooting Aunt Esther who was armed with a bat.

If someone grabs for a cops gun, he is no longer "unarmed" and should immediately become worm food.
In that case there is no such thing as excessive force.

I haven't seen anything about the perp grabbing his gun, but this didn't help...
"After a three-day bench trial in July 2017, during which Buford's partner testified that lethal force wasn't necessary during the interaction, Buford was acquitted by Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Michael Sliwinski.."

Hilow argued that evidence showed Jones may have grabbed at Buford's gun before the officer fired the fatal shot

The guys partner basically ratted him out and the judge still found him not guilty but their version of the trial room found him guilty anyway and fired him. www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2017/12/cleveland_police_officer_fired.html
