The GF stated that he got pulled over for a broken tail light. He really got pulled over because he looked like the person on the video of a convenience store armed robbery just a few blocks away and only a few days earlier.

I think someone else pointed this out, but it's likely the "broken tail light" was simply a ruse to avoid spooking the driver.

Remember, the officer thought he might be a robbery suspect. Would it be advisable to walk up and confront someone that way?

Yes, you have a point there. We will have to wait to find out if the gun om his right leg is the same as the one in the robbery video.
