On the bright side we may be saved from just such an infuriating realization

"It sounds like your perspective is formed form viewing the TV show "Cops". This is not representative of reality."
That's a poor and unnecessary assumption. Just in the last handful of years there has been a proliferation of good quality bodycam footage that gives unprecedented insight into police encounters. It would be more charitable to ask where the commenter's perspective is coming from.
"Situations where police are able to survive only because they were able to quickdraw and shoot a criminal first like some sort of cowboy are vanishingly rare and possibly purely fantasy."
It sounds like you may be the one who needs some experience watching body cam footage and reading about incidents. Just off the top, here is a quick refutation of your "fantasy" statement (and there are many more like it):

One would have to be obtuse at best, malicious at worst to characterize Stallman's comments in the leaked mailing list thread as 'defending statutory rape' in any way.

I agree our understanding of the social nuances of the internet is in infancy; though the human tendency to enact mob "justice" is relatively better understood. The internet has enabled that ugly tendency of humanity to a scary degree. Especially coupled with the strong profit motive of sites like Vice and other so called media outlets, which stand to benefit greatly from whipping up such smear campaigns.

Signficant leverage in the realm of reputation and public perception which is quite important to large instituations?

I think the user you are responding to is attempting to undermine anything that can loosely be construed as a defense of Stallman. A bit of a dirty tactic, IMO, but the lines of battle have clearly been drawn.
Knowing that people get into this instinctual "fight" mode frequently during police encounters, to the point where they'll exert themselves to the point of exhaustion and beyond, I do wish police had a greater duty of care standard to check on people and assess for medical emergencies during such scuffles.
