...or gaining space to get a run at you.
There is no use of force policy or caselaw, of which I am aware, that requires an officer to be fought or threatened before obtaining his or her firearm. These things are fluid and split seconds decide life or death.
If you flee or give the appearance of flight, expect a roadside gunshow when they get you stopped. Nobody knows why you're fleeing and nobody's taking chances until it's sorted out. This is pretty much covered by #2 above.
