What it is is that entirely too many cops have been killedv or injured
because
they didn't cuff someone.

Its not just in this case but I saw it in nearly ordinary
automobile traffic cases.

Yep. I remember a routine traffic stop in Knoxville back around 1970. The
driver
shot the officer through the door and drove away. Made a few changes to
the
rules right there.

It doesn't sound like a case of not cuffing him; more like the bad guy was
still in his car.
