When a cop feels threatened by what appears to me a gun, he is trained to three tap center mass. Lesson learned, don’t threaten a cop with a weapon that appears to be a real gun.

I'm not at all a fan of these cops but I will give them slack when a gun or object resembles one is entered the fracas then the cops have a right to defend themselves.

In what way did the shooting victim enter the gun into the fracas?

The officer CAUSED the "fracas" by following his confrontational Mary Mallninja training, and yanking the passenger door open.

Say, aren't they supposed to go to the driver's door and ID themselves to the car's driver?

Or don't they have to do that with "civilians" any more?
