I'm not quite sure I understand what your point is.
On the one hand, it could be argued that the officer reacted too fast to what appeared to be a citizen exiting a car, not following instructions, and holding something small and dark in his hands.
On the other, we have a citizen who does everything wrong as well...exiting the vehicle, ignoring instructions, and holding something small and dark which cannot immediately be seen as a wallet.
I believe I would have been calmer than this officer under the circumstances, but judging by his reaction it is pretty clear he honestly thought it might be a weapon.
Leisure Activities forum?
it goes along with the VIDEO of THE DAY!!!!!!! thread, same sub forum ...........
Advise for the day: When you shoot someone it might be a grand idea to provide aid at some point. Oh, and not to shoot them in the first ****ing place.

As a counter-example:
They were worried about any other persons in the vehicle... you know, the one holding a purse.
There's better places for cop hate threads, aren't there? I doubt folks come to the leisure forum for that, but I could be wrong.
time for a NEW thread ................ Fred ...............
well, I initiated the thread; it is not a cop "hate" thread but is rather a VIDEO thread
I happen to like videos & I have been watching many more POLICE videos the past few weeks
Citizens can learn by viewing these types of videos; I know I have
I'm scared as Hell of the police now; I learned .............
And you're faulting the officer, I presume.
I dont view it that way. First, im wag'ing that the driver was drunk. Secondly, everyone knows you don't hop out of the car when you get pulled over. And certainly not bounding out with something in your hand. In the dark. Third, he made some very unclear and possibly threatening moves... probably by accident because he's an idiot. But I'm guessing that officer wanted to get home alive at the end of his shift.
A damn shame.
Well after that issue was settled they were still walking around the guy doing nothing to offer any kind of assistance.
if you click on the video title you can read an attached narrative
info states two different courts sided with the officer that shot the motorist
