The headline makes it sound bad, but it is no worse than cops shooting someone reaching for their wallet, then getting off scot-free.
stupid.
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.
