get your license - complying is suspicious so get out of the car, getting out of the car is also suspicious so BANG, I guess he didn’t also stomp on the guys face too?

These incidents are getting far too common

Yep. I am concealed carry licensed here in Texas. A couple of times I have been stopped by law enforcement and rightfully so. When they would come to the window of the vehicle I have my hands on the dash in plain view. Law enforcement will run your plates and know if you are concealed carry or a bad guy. I will have the window open with my ID Insurance and Concealed Carry License in my hand. The first thing I say is I am armed and tell them where the weapon is. Without exception I have been dealt with courteously and did not get a ticket that I had justly earned.

Please note this is not a defense of the officer that shot that man. He screwed up big time.

There is no “getting” about it.
This has always happened.
There are just cameras now.

Common enough that being pulled by police for an infraction will at some point in the future justify the pulled driver trying to shoot the cop before the cop can shoot the driver.
That works for pedestrian stops, too, and cops coming to your door.
Will "quotas" come to include number of drivers shot in a month?
