Someone needs to explain to me how an unarmed drunk is a deadly threat to the officer and the public.

Considering the crash that just happened - your question is silly. Not saying drunk drivers should be shot, but yes. They do pose a deadly threat. And when deadly force is the answer, then too bad for the drunk.
The threat was over after the crash,of course a drunk driver actively driving is a terrible threat.This guy got shot with his hands in the air,I don’t think deadly force was justified at that point.
How did the cop know it was the driver climbing out?
Equine feces. Climbing out of the car? Deadly to whom? Not to the officer.
And when deadly force is the answer, then too bad for the drunk.
Um, deadly force is not the answer to a guy climbing out of a car. The officer did not have any knowledge as to whether the driver was drunk or whether he'd had a stroke for example. It was only known that he was drunk after the shooting.
From the standpoint of support for unalienable Constitutional rights to life, liberty, and due process, your posts on this thread are appalling.
