Although the passenger was not holding a weapon, he had access to one (in glove compartment).

(So now we'll have a rhetorical "battle" over definition of what "armed" and "unarmed" is)

From the article:

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.

I’m not all that comfortable with the police being to shoot anyone that has access to a weapon.

Why was the cop pulling the door open if he didn’t want the passenger to get out of the car?

Wait...did I read that right?

A guy who spent 13 years in prison for shooting at police has a gun inches from his hands...but at no time was a threat to police because he had no weapon?

And since he was black...shot by a black officer...it was RAAAAACISM!

Isn’t there is something called the “Wingspan Rule” that applies to vehicle situations?

Good riddance, cop killer.

Bridgeton has always been a bad area since I can remember. It's a lot worse now. I grew up in Vineland,the next town over. Lots of old historical houses in Bridgeton. They have a nice little free zoo & park. Back in the 1960s we used to shop at Mr. Bigs department store.

December 30th? Black unarmed(?) vic? You’d have thought there would have been more publicized outrage by now. Good shoot or not, it’s cops against a saintly member of the community.

The officer told him repeatedly not to move...he kept moving around in the car and not complying with the officer’s orders...then he moved one time too many.

Black on black...it’ll be interesting to see how they smear the officer as an Uncle Tom or some such.

The passenger got out of the car and took a big step towards the officer. Bang. End of story.

Anybody know if the Jag is for sale now?

Appears 6 rounds where shot at the suspect, both officers seemed to have fired, with the passenger side officer firing first.
