Sure, he was probably trying to get home. But by doing it in a stolen car, causing a police chase, causing a crash, assaulting a police officer, attempting to flee on foot, and then trying to get into a police vehicle, he didn’t really help himself not come across as a danger to the public.

Not saying you should be shot and killed for that, but I can definitely see how in the heat of the moment (with the police definitely on edge as a result of the whole situation), the risk of an officer making an error in judgement goes up significantly.
