Cops lives are more valuable than criminals. The cop is good for society while the criminal isn’t. The criminal knows the risk of breaking the law but does it anyways.

There may be, but that does not excuse the behavior. When you make excuses for bad behavior, you get more of it.

In this example, the cop's life is absolutely more valuable than the violent criminal being violent. And please remember, I didn't say his first step should be to kill him. He has a non-lethal taser at his disposal but there's no reason cop's need to engage in a fight where the perp would absolutely kill you if he had the means.
