It isn't. But I am watching the video on youtube, sleeping in my bed. The officer reacted differently because he is naturally protective of himself first and foremost. It doesn't matter what kind of training you get, your safety will come first. 

"I feared for my safety/life" is such a bullshit reason, the other guy was aggressive when he exited the car, but after a few steps he noticeably got calmer and more neutral

he was no "threat", it's not a battle field and he is not an enemy combatant, just a normal citizen that was a bit pissed at first and that happens all the time, the officers should be able to deal with the situation with what they learned in their de-escalation training
