The cops were pulling the "I smell weed" routine which means they were probably fishing for a DUI arrest with no probable cause.

That may make the request to exit the vehicle unlawful.

Driving in the wrong lane isn’t probable cause?

[KittyKares]

Assuming arguendo that what you say is true, that does not give the driver the right to shoot police. I can’t even fathom that defense.

He was driving on the wrong side of the road. So if had a head on with a vehicle killing th family inside that would be too bad for them

[armydoc]

Yeah, the police are obviously lying. This guy is the picture of a model citizen and couldn't possibly have been smoking weed in his car. Oh, you also might want to check your legal advice. Police don't need "probable cause" to order you out of your vehicle.

Jesus, really?

[gundog]

Swerving...I’ll bet it’s on dashcam video...ought to be reason enough for a field sobriety test.

[cherry]

the driver was driving erratically.....you and I would be pulled over immediately....

[Dead Corpse]

Not going to be a popular opinion, but is a highly likely scenario.

[DesertRhino]

Bullshit. You made that up. The chances of that guy smelling like weed are high. Sicko.

The deputy had already saw him driving on the wrong side of the road initially. That was enough reason to pull him over. Whether there was weed or not doesn’t justify the murder of this officer. I know the Eric Holder FR branch cop hater brigade pisses themselves with glee every time a cop is murdered. If he gets out they may or may not find weed. If the guy is a felon with a gun he may or may not go to prison, depends on his record and all still go home alive.
