In the video, the mood changes in a flash when Days tells his partner about the gun and starts yelling, "Show me your hands!" The driver, Leroy Tutt, raises his hands immediately. Reid does not at first.
Days, still yelling, reaches into the car and appears to remove a gun.
"I'm going to shoot you," Days shouts, at one point addressing Reid by his first name. "You're going to be f---ing dead. If you reach for something, you're going to be f---ing dead."
Days tells his partner, "He's reaching for something."
Faintly on the video, Reid can be heard telling the officer, "I ain't doing nothing. I'm not reaching for nothing, bro. I ain't got no reason to reach for nothing."
Then one of the men in the car tells the officer, "I'm getting out and getting on the ground."
The officer again orders Reid not to move. Seconds later, Reid emerges from the car, raising his hands, which appear to be empty. Both officers fire immediately, shooting at least six rounds.
Bystanders start yelling at the officers, and other emergency vehicles arrive.

BUT- there is this one little twist:
"Reid, 36, spent about 13 years in prison for shooting at three state troopers when he was a teenager. And Days knew who he was; Days was among the arresting officers last year when Reid was charged with several crimes, including drug possession and obstruction."
Bad cop. Bad shoot. He’s going to jail for this one.
Looks to me like the guy is repeatedly shoving on the door while the cop is telling him to not move. Then he forces the door open and gets out.
What part of “Don’t f’n move” is so hard to understand?
For later
I saw the victim exit the car with his hands raised from his elbows near his stomach. IOW, it might have been difficult to see from the officer’s perspective from the other side of the door. Regardless, his hands were clear and I think I counted 6 quick shots and then a 7th...
It doesn’t look good for the LEO in my opinion.
New Jersey Riots in 3...2...1
And the officer saw a gun in the glove box.
I mean, the driver didn't move and he's still alive, right?
I didn’t hear “reaching for a gun” in the cruiser videotape. I heard “he’s reaching for something.”
Also, the narrative with the video states that the police reported a weapon was seized at the scene, but nothing reported about it since the initial report, nor where exactly it was retrieved from.....
I’ll bet the driver pooped his pants. More than once.
Unless the LEO was freaking out because he knew who he was, whatever the F@ch the guy was doing in contradiction to the LEOs instruction was definatly causing the officer to go ballistic.
The cop told him what he wanted him to do and he was constantly doing what he wanted to do, not what the cop was telling him.
Bang yer dead. Right or wrong.
BRIDGETON, N.J. – With the dashboard camera in their cruiser rolling, police pulled a Jaguar over for running a stop sign on a dark night. But things suddenly turned tense when one of the officers warned his partner that he could see a gun in the glove compartment.
Screaming over and over “Don’t you f-—ing move!” and “Show me your hands!” at the man in the passenger seat, the officer reached into the car and appeared to remove a silver handgun.
Then, the passenger, despite being warned repeatedly not to move, stepped out of the Jaguar, his hands raised about shoulder level.
The officers opened fire, killing him.
What other dipsh!t would INTENTIONALLY take the next step when someone is pointing a gun at them and tells ‘em “I’ll shoot if you take another step”??
I see nothing wrong with the LEOs performance. Stay in the car means exactly that
For later...
This one’s a tough call.
The driver was compliant and he’s alive.
Here is a question that no one has asked. The DRIVER was the one who rolled through the stop sign for which the car was ostensibly lit up and pulled over. Yet the first direct action seen in the video was the shooting officer approach the car from the passenger side. Why is that?
What also not shown or presented is what occurred during the run-up tailing of the car until an infraction was committed. Were the plates run? Was the ultimate victim’s name run or heard as a response to driver’s known associates? What was reported back?
I think there is more to this than we’ve all been privileged to know, frankly.
I believe he was told not to move. He wasn’t told to exit the car.
Knowing who this guy was, and that he wasn’t fully cooperating, I think the police are going to get off on this one.
The report I heard was that a gun was found in the glovebox.
He asked the African in the car repeatedly DO NOT MOVE. Another idiot that doesn’t listen or understand when told what to do. And then factor in he knew who the POS was. Good shoot
