I/m having a hard time seeing a justification for deadly force here.

Good shoot, the suspect did not follow commands and was either was heading back to his vehicle or attempting to carjack someone else. Bottom line, you cannot allow the suspect to reach into a vehicle for a weapon or allow him to get back into a vehicle where he could wreck havoc.

Good shot.

Cop stops a suspect in the middle of a road, so its a serious case right off the bat. We can see, cop is pointing his gun at suspect. First thing cop will do is tell him to put his hands in the air. Suspect complies with that, but no doubt suspect has also been told to lie down (and NOT to walk away) and especially NOT to go into car to retrieve something.

Its not a negotiation at that point. Disobey commands and especially go to your car - and any cop in the country will see that as a mortal threat.

Can’t see last few seconds.
Was he reaching in the vehicle?
If so, then good shoot.
