Looked like he could have been going for a gun in his car.

Maybe I'm missing a factoid but I would have shot him if he walked back to his car, probably against orders, and looked like he was going to reach in the window and grab something - especially if he was acting like a bath salt freak. I'm not seeing the problem here ... again ... especially if a taser didn't drop him.

It's hard to reach inside a car if the door is closed and the window is rolled up.

Police helicopter video seems to indicate that was the case.

In the USA, many Cops are running around thinking they are less than a second from being shot to death. Every single interaction they have with the public is now approached from that angle. In reality cops face a far greater threat from traffic accidents than from violence.

We shouldn't be "In their sights" unless there's a dang good reason. This man could have been taken down different ways without shooting him.
