It looks like the police gave the suspect every opportunity to comply with whatever orders they were giving...should they have allowed him the opportunity to pull a weapon out of the car? Once his hand/hands go into the vehicle, all bets are off.

You call him "suspect". Suspected of doing what? The police were responding to a stalled car in the middle of the road. So is car breakdown a criminal offense now?

Why they were there is irrelevant to what was happening when the man was shot.

If he was disobeying lawful police commands, at that point he was more than a suspect, he was actually violating the law and purposely posing a threat to law officers, and potentially to innocent bystanders. Fair game.
