UIW police officer Chris Carter pulled over Redus at 2:00 a.m. on Friday night for unknown reasons. The argument between the two quickly became heated, and Redus attacked, according to an Alamo Heights Police Department press conference. Redus successfully wrestled Carter’s police baton out of his hands, and started beating him over the head with it.

Carter reacquired the baton, and told Redus that he would open fire if the student refused to surrender. According to Police Chief Richard Pruitt, Redus charged the officer once again, forcing Carter to shoot him.

Still debatable if the deadly force should have been used, but if true it is not as clear-cut as you are making it.

So a person just grabs a steel baton out of a cop's hands...I doubt it...It likely was already used on the driver...

And the cop gets beat over the head repeatedly with a steel baton and then takes it away from the guy wielding it??? Bruce Willis, maybe...
