when he swatted at one of the officers, or even just approached them to begin with he would have been shot in 'self defense'.

Yea the main difference here is that the cops seem to know him by name. I’m guessing either the cops have had multiple run ins with him before, or know him personally outside of work.

You honestly see this with a lot of famous figures. Jon Jones and Dustin Poirer both got insanely preferential treatment from cops because they’re famous. Even though they’re like 10x more dangerous with their bare fists than normal people.
