I would say that is the justification for the presence of armed officers but I'm having trouble reconciling the dude employing both hands to manouvre his car away with shooting him as being reaasonable force to prevent a crime

I don't think that bit is relevant, since the Met apparently didn't know who was driving the vehicle before the stop, but that the vehicle was involved in a shooting the night before probably is

So he shot another man in a nightclub days before? doesn’t that change things slightly when a known gunman is about to be arrested?
the firearms officer would have know he was likely to be armed and not afraid to shoot.
