The cop was dealing with an uncooperative motorist, who, when asked ‘to step out of the car, ‘proceeded’ to turn the ignition and put the car in drive.
End of story....when cop pulls you over co-operate...give him your license...don’t create a situation forcing him to “guess” what your next move will be.
Nah, not end of story. Sure, the victim was an idiot who certainly didn’t help himself out. But he also did nothing that would justify the use of deadly force.
I don’t care. A person does not have the right to take another human being’s life, badge or not, unless there is an immediate threat to their or another innocent person’s life. A traffic stop? I don’t even care if the guy took off in the vehicle the cop can shoot the tires or give chase after calling in plates and coordinates. You don’t shoot people dead as a first resort and for merely “disobeying” your orders. It’s not like the guy was wanted for a murder etc...
