The immediate danger was over. The cop shot him first in the back then multiple other times from the front with the eye wound described as at a downward angle. Sure sounds like no matter what happened with the baton the LEO overreacted.

Of course, that doesn't mean that the cop will be found responsible. These days the scales seem to tip in favor of LEOs.

Yes, the headline is sensationalized. The story however seems to back up the idea that the cop overreacted.
