I bet the officer told him to keep his hands on the wheel or dash. What cop would let a man with a gun reach for anything? It does not make sense. I can tell you in 97 I was driving back from a casino in a torch red 97 C5 Vette. I was pulled over for speeding. The cop asked where I was going etc. I told him I had about 20k cash on me plus a pistol in the glove box. I said I was driving home. He asked me to keep my hands on the dash. I did, that seems to be standard.
I know that the video was started after the shooting. I have no idea what transpired prior.
Initially, she appeared calm and mentioned shot in the arm. But he was in obvious distress.
From all accounts thus far, he was of pretty decent character. No Michael Brown, by any means.
