Yes.
If all the innuendos are true, including he pulled his gun on the cop, then it’s a good shoot.
I don’t have any information, and no one else does either, to know that’s what happened. We will have to wait, which is hard when emotions are high.
For example, public school employees are arrested for odd crimes every week. He actually could be an armed robber. He was associated with gang members, or wannabe gangster. Multiple traffic offenses could be just the surface of a chronic criminal.
We will have to wait to see if he was a bad guy, just good enough to get a permit, or a real bad guy.
Might he have been high on something “Sure officer, yes I have a gun. Here it is” — not even meaning any harm, but it scared the crap out of the officer.
His girlfriend seemed eerily calm. Maybe they both had been toking.
Legally excusable shoot doesn’t mean good in the sense of desirable or even, in hindsight, necessary.
