Lets say that's not what happened here. My comments are based on the evidence at hand, in this case, the video. Btw, if you're a cop and your trying to detain or arrest a suspect, you can't allow them to reach back into a vehicle. That would be suicide. And if ya allow them to run into some home, they could take hostages, or start killing the innocent.
That's the way cops are trained. And it should be. If ya don't like it take it up with them, not me.

You’re the one who mentioned a home. That’s why I used a front porch example. Anyway, what you said above a fair point. But to use lethal force to stop the person? I can accept that only if the cop knows a gun is in the car. And yes, I know that puts the cop in an ugly, dangerous position.
There is no easy answer here. A guy is under stress and is not thinking clearly. He reaches into his car for his cell phone. He gets shot by a cop...very bad. A guy reaches into his car for a hidden gun. He gets to it. Also very bad.
