On the very rare occasion that I’m pulled over by a LEO, I will either have my wallet out and at the ready before he gets to my vehicle, or I will await his direction to reach for my wallet. It’s the people who make a sudden move and/or are acting nervous that raises the suspicions of the officer, who might then respond in the manner in which you refer.
no, he was just being an idiot. the instance he was referring to was the diallo shooting some years ago in new york city. it had nothing to do with getting pulled over in a car. it was just a bad situation that got worse. but the officers were found not guilty for a reason. they weren’t.
