The question you won’t answer could’ve got the cop killed.
THE KID WAS GETTING OUT TO GO AFTER THE COP!
Have another explanation since the cop did not say a word about getting out of the car? And how long should the cop wait to find out the idiots motives AFTER REPEATEDLY TELLING HIM NOT TO MOVE?

Where one gun is found, there is another. Surely you do imply that all was ok because he was able to grab that one from the reach of the non compliant con who was reaching all around inside the car?
Bad guy knew exactly what he was doing.

The passenger side officer reached in and pulled the gun from the vehicle and seems he was in possession of the weapon when the suspect exited the vehicle.Yeah, I saw that too.....

One of the things they drill in handgun safety classes is to NEVER, NEVER, NEVER put your handgun in the glove box for exactly this situation.

Why was the kid getting out of the car? Ah yes, felony getting-out-of-the-car. Warrants shooting every time. I'm disturbed by the fact that police can apparently shoot whoever they want for whatever reason they want and so many people don't seem to have a problem with it.

Still trolling here I see....surprised you havent met the kittehs yet... Unlike the police apparently the moderators feel they have to have a reason before they zot someone.
Just a thought for general consumption:
Some are saying "Cop Killer!"
Others are saying "Killer Cop!"
Is there maybe a possibility that this was a Killer Cop Killing a Cop Killer?
I mean why does one of them have to be "right?"

Now I've seen the video which is not clear and certainly doesn't reveal enough (IMO) to make a call either way.
For me, I'll wait until more facts come out.

we could take this in a number of directions but Im’ guess thinking it must somehow refer to a BUTTHEAD...might be the safest idea.

When a cop has a weapon 6 inches from your head and yells “Don’t move” then don’t move.

What would’ve you done if you were the cop when the kid got out of the car? (answer can’t start with ‘I don’t know but...)
Please be specific.

"For me, I'll wait until more facts come out."
Oh I (as in the real, serious "me") agree with you completely.
I was just offering a facetious suggestion that we substitute the presumption of guilt for innocence. Although it might not be that much of a joke, since it's being done in the media every day.

Murder? How about we wait for the facts. Unlike what you did when you supported Mike Brown:
"But even if this account is 100% true, and we have only the police officer's testimony on it, the struggle for the gun was over. The police officer had his pistol and Brown was unarmed and fleeing. Why the need to shoot him?"

What is clear on the video is that the passenger was clearly told not to move and he began pushing against the door as the officer was trying to keep it closed. The officer repeated the order not to move and the passenger came out anyway.
Frankly, with the close proximity of the weapon and the passenger not obeying and moving at the officer, there was a reasonable expectation for the officer to defend himself.
JUST COMPLY, DON'T DIE !!!
