Bottom line: do exactly what the officer tells you to do. The victim in this case apparently kept moving when told to stop.

Did the officer act properly? It's hard to say. The better question might be: What would I have done if placed in the same situation?

Maybe its just me but this attitude that the public must immediately comply with ANY order from police or risk death is wrong. You are talking police state.Too many itchy trigger fingers with many, many police totally unqualified to deal with the public in a professional manner. I don’t know what the answer is. Oh by the way, I was a cop 1973-1978.

The police asked for his ID. Like most men he kept it in his pocket. What was he suppose to do?
