And there it is....
The guy was having car trouble. He hadn't committed any crimes.
No he didn't but he put his life and the cops life at risk by not following orders.....the cops don't know what's going on with guy.... I've had guns pulled on me before and I stood as still as can be with my hands up in there bc all it would take is a cop to think something is going on to pull that trigger.
Last year I posted a poll that asked if it was okay to use deadly force to make someone follow commands. The response was overwhelming against it, yet time and time again the phrase "he should have just complied" is used to rationalize a police shooting.No he didn't but he put his life and the cops life at risk by not following orders.....the cops don't know what's going on with guy....

The police should only draw their weapon when there is an identifiable threat.No he didn't but he put his life and the cops life at risk by not following orders.....the cops don't know what's going on with guy....

You don't get shot for simply not following orders but not following orders can get you shot....// all it takes is a cops perception is that you are going for a weapon.
I didn't find the reason as to why he was out of his car? his car broke right?
Yeah I get that, unfortunate that is the first response as opposed to just talking to a person.
Edit, I should say was their response in this case, other police do talk to those that serve.
Watch the videos where they go through shooting training...... It takes a split second to be shot bayou decide to hesitate....it's why this guy and every other person should stand there with their hands up and not move so the cop doesn't have to make that choice. You never know what the cop just came from either which can affect the outcome of this situation.
They're peace officers, not grizzly bears. You shouldn't have to consider being murdered if you move simply because Jackboot Johnny is on the scene.
