Whether he had a gun, could or could not legally have a gun makes no difference.
This incident and every one of the others in recent memory have one thing in common.
Refusal to obey the officer. Some of the shootings could be classified as questionable but even those started as the offender disobeying the cop.
Is there a suicide/martyr tone in the black community ?
Why in the world would a man, ordered out of his car get out with a gun or anything in his hand?
The officer tells you to get out of the car, put your hands on the roof, don’t move. Simple.
Even the incident in Tulsa. The perp walks back to his car hands in the air. But the last few seconds he lowers his hands to the car window. WRONG!
The question is, was the window up or down?
Either way he got an officer antsy.
Correct. A concealed carry permit doesn't grant you permission to disobey an officer's orders. Including an order to "drop" your weapon.

Indecision about using it to avoid arrest? I heard the tape released by his family today, and on it his wife(?) screams at the police, but also screams at him, "Keith don't do it!" Several times. Don't do what?

I'd speculate in the Tulsa incident the individual was high and hadn't a clue what the officers were saying to him.
