You cannot do that - ever.
Once it's
on - IT IS on.
An officer cannot initiate an arrest or be attacked and then back off and let him go - he would get fried for that.
I can just hear it now;
The suspect attacked an officer....the officer - realized he was outmatched - so when the suspect fled -
the officer stayed in his car waiting for back-up.
The suspect escaped.
Later - it was discovered that the suspect had been on a rampage and had killed 11 people when he was approached by the officer -
after the cop let him go - allowed him to escape -
the suspect killed 18 more people - and the public want to charge the cop with these 18 deaths because he should have never alllowed a killer to escape. WTF is wrong with these cops?
