From my understanding, they hit their lights on a dark stretch of road and the guy drove to a well lit place to pull over. Just as police commonly recommend. Seems that that is what put these officers on edge. Sure, the driver could have just complied ... but at what cost? The officers approached the car with guns drawn and telling him to get out. That would be enough to scare anyone ... I don't care what color your skin is.
I was aware of ll you said. I still think there is more.
