Did this cop actually SEE a rifle. Or just THINK he thought the man was reaching for a gun. Just reaching and not seeing is no reason to pull out his weapon and fire. He has to have seen a weapon, thus believing his life in jeopardy. But, swinging a rifle around to point it out the window of a pickup truck would have been a feat in its own right.
