BRIDGETON, N.J. — Another police killing is stirring anger in another town, this time in New Jersey, where a tense traffic stop captured on video ended with a passenger shot to death as he stepped out of a car with his hands raised at shoulder height.
The newly released footage from a police dashboard camera shows Bridgeton officers Braheme Days and Roger Worley in a Dec. 30 stop that escalates quickly after Days warns his partner about seeing a gun in the glove compartment of the Jaguar...

Reid, 36, had spent about 13 years in prison for shooting at New Jersey State Police troopers when he was a teenager. He was also arrested last year on charges including drug possession and obstruction; Days was one of the arresting officers then.

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?
Why was the kid getting out of the car?
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.
Yeah, I saw that too.....
Still trolling here I see....surprised you haven’t met the kitteh’s yet...
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.
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.
Unlike the police apparently the moderators feel they have to have a reason before they zot someone.
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?"
Who did he kill?
Oh, you’ve given plenty of reason.
I first heard about this on my way home from work just about 45 minutes ago.
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.
And yet here I am.
Imagine that.....
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.
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.
"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?"

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 !!!
